（华盛顿综合电）西方军事情报评估显示，伊朗在战前制定的规划，显著降低了美国和以色列联合军事打击对伊朗武器库和领导层的冲击。

评估还指出，如果美伊停火谈判最终失败，伊朗仍有能力进行反击，甚至可能利用停火期重整军备，为冲突重启做准备。

彭博社星期五（4月17日）引述匿名的消息人士报道，虽然伊朗的基础设施严重受损，多名高层领导人被杀，但伊朗为应对冲突而制定的作战计划，有效防止了导弹和无人机能力受到的破坏，并最大限度地提升了军事反击的能力。

这些信息与美国总统特朗普和政府高层官员对伊朗战事的评估相差堪远。

特朗普星期一在自家社媒发文称：“伊朗已被彻底摧毁，无论在军事上还是其他方面。”

特朗普4月7日宣布停火时还说，美国已“超额”完成所有军事目标。

但知情者说，伊朗为高级军事领导人被杀后进行替换而制定的计划，意味着伊朗可最大限度地减少对指挥结构的干扰。

评估也显示，伊朗似乎仍拥有大量远程导弹储备和数千架无人机。

在4月8日的新闻发布会上，美国战争部长赫格塞斯宣称：“无论从哪个角度看，‘史诗怒火’行动都重创了伊朗军队，使其在未来数年内丧失了作战能力。”

一些西方官员则私下认为，美国须再进行两到三周的打击才能完全削弱伊朗的能力，但也有人说美方需更长时间，而且伊朗的工业和核能力可能仍未被摧毁。

据了解，伊朗已将它的导弹发射器和无人机基础设施分散部署在全国各地，并且还会将发射器转移到不同的地点，这使得美国更难以迅速将它们摧毁。

Starmer and Macron accused of ‘playing at being relevant’ with Strait of Hormuz plan

As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron convene a summit Friday on the future of the Strait of Hormuz, the two leaders are pushing a European-led plan to reopen the vital shipping lane after the war, without U.S. leadership.

The proposal envisions a post-conflict naval mission made up of Britain, France and other “non-belligerent” countries that would deploy only after fighting ends. Unlike President Donald Trump’s current strategy of blockading Iranian ports with U.S. naval power, the Anglo-French initiative is intended to be separate from the warring parties and focused on restoring commercial shipping.

A senior European official insisted the initiative is not meant to go around Washington, telling Fox News Digital that Paris began discussing a future maritime mission “from day one” of the conflict and is now formalizing those plans jointly with London.

Macron and Starmer are expected to host a summit to advance what both governments describe as a “coordinated, independent, multinational plan” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz once the fighting ends.

“France and the United Kingdom will also host a conference in Paris this Friday, bringing together by video conference non-belligerent countries ready to contribute, alongside us, to a multilateral and purely defensive mission aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the strait when security conditions allow,” Macron wrote on X.

Starmer similarly described the effort as a “coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends,” saying Britain had already convened more than 40 nations around the initiative, Reuters reported. Washington was not part of those earlier talks.

The European senior official said the proposed force would be “strictly defensive” and would only deploy after active fighting and bombardment have ended, with the goal of restoring normal shipping rather than enforcing a wartime corridor.

“What we want in the end is no blockade, no toll, no nothing that blocks the fluidity of what is going through the Strait of Hormuz,” the official told Fox News Digital, while stressing that Iran remains “the first problem.”

The official also rejected suggestions that Paris and London are trying to sideline the Trump administration, saying the U.S. has been kept informed and that there is extensive coordination with Washington even if the emerging mission is currently limited to “non-belligerent” countries.

“We’re coordinating a lot with them,” the official said, adding that the goal is to create a framework that can operate once the conflict is over.

Macron has repeatedly emphasized that France’s envisioned mission would be “strictly defensive” and ruled out escorting ships while “bombings” are ongoing. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said “several dozen countries” already had participated in preparatory discussions led by military chiefs of staff, and that any future mission would also require coordination with Gulf coastal states, according to Reuters.

The Anglo-French initiative comes as Trump has taken a far more aggressive approach, ordering the U.S. Navy to blockade Iranian ports and continue operations aimed at securing the strategic waterway after ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed in Pakistan.

Critics argue that without American military power, the European proposal risks being largely symbolic.

Britain and France are overstating what they can realistically achieve, The Henry Jackson Society analyst Barak Seener said.

“Britain and France are playing at being relevant as so-called ‘Middle Powers’ in international affairs,” Seener told Fox News Digital.

“Keir Starmer’s assertion ‘We’re not getting dragged into the war’ disguises the embarrassing fact that the Royal Navy is facing a hollowed out crisis, causing the initiative to be ‘strictly defensive’,” he said.

“France’s navy is also facing structural and budgetary pressures that strain its ability to conduct high-tempo operations.”

“It is laughable that a European coalition of ‘non-belligerent’ countries that are only willing to engage once hostilities have ended can even speak of protecting its shipping lanes,” Seener added.

“Ultimately, the U.S.’s deployment of hard power, consisting of carrier strike groups and fighter aircraft to blockade Iranian ports and clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, can protect shipping lanes.”

House approves short-term extension of key surveillance law after dealing GOP leadership pair of floor defeats

The House agreed early Friday morning on a short-term extension of a critical foreign surveillance program after dealing Republican leadership a pair of embarrassing floor defeats on a longer-term reauthorization.

The measure to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through April 30 now goes to the Senate for passage. The program is set to expire in three days.

Republican leaders believed Thursday night that they had struck a deal with conservative holdouts who harbor deep and longstanding concerns that Section 702 infringes on Americans’ privacy rights. The deal would have extended the nation’s spy powers for five years but with some changes to the program.

The House rejected the substance of the deal during an early Friday morning vote – then later blocked a procedural vote to advance an 18-month, clean extension of the program.

Section 702 of FISA allows authorized US officials to gather phone calls and text messages of foreign targets, but they can also collect the data of Americans in the process.

Senior national security officials have for years said the law is critical for thwarting terror attacks, stemming the flow of fentanyl into the US and stopping ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure. Civil liberties groups on the left and the right, meanwhile, argue the surveillance authority risks infringing on Americans’ privacy.

The Trump administration had all week thrown its support behind a clean extension, with President Donald Trump repeatedly imploring Republicans on social media this week to back an 18-month reauthorization. GOP leaders and the White House were also engaged in lengthy talks with conservative holdouts.

But those negotiations were not enough to win over some of the GOP’s privacy hawks. The deal leadership negotiated with holdouts failed on the floor, and 20 Republicans later helped block the 18-month clean reauthorization from advancing.

While leaving the House chamber on Friday morning, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the 10-day extension gives lawmakers more time to hammer out their differences.

“We were very close tonight,” Johnson said. “There’s some nuances with language and some questions that need to be answered, and we’ll get it done. The extension allows us the time to do that.”

The speaker called FISA a “critical national security tool” and told reporters, “What we’re trying to do is thread the needle of ensuring that we have this essential tool to keep Americans safe, but also safeguard our constitutional rights and making sure that the abuses of FISA in the past are no longer possible.”

“There are many different opinions on how to do it and it’s very difficult to make it perfect, but we’ll get it done,” Johnson said.

CNN previously reported, citing current and former officials, that with just days to go before the lapse, US national security officials have scrambled to prepare for potential blind spots in intelligence collection amid the US’ delicate ceasefire with Iran.

澳大利亚即将签署一份价值数十亿美元的合同，从日本购买先进的海军护卫舰。这项交易将有助于澳洲海军现代化，提升东京成为全球防务市场主要参与者的雄心，并深化两国之间的安全联系。

彭博社引述澳洲政府发言人称，澳洲国防部长马尔斯以及日本国防部长小泉进次郎星期六（4月18日）将在墨尔本参加签字仪式。

发言人说，这项合同将涵盖11艘护卫舰中的前三艘，预算为150亿澳元至200亿澳元（约137亿新元至183亿新元）。三菱重工是“最上”级护卫舰项目的首席承包商，护卫舰针对水下作战和防空进行优化，将取代澳洲的Anzac级军舰。

按照计划，前三艘舰船将在日本建造，其余船只将在西澳大利亚州建造。首艘船预计2029年交付，并于2030年投入使用。

中国星期五（4月17日）指新西兰一架军机多次抵近中国周边空域侦察滋扰，并说中国坚决有力应对这一侦察滋扰活动。

中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆在例行记者会上答问时说，新西兰空军一架P-8A反潜巡逻机持续在黄海、东海海空域抵近侦察滋扰，损害中国安全利益，增加误解误判风险，也对相关空域民航飞行秩序造成严重干扰。

郭嘉昆：“中方已作出坚决有力应对，并向新方提出严正交涉。中方敦促新方切实遵守国际法和国际关系基本准则，尊重中国主权和安全关切，维护民用航空安全和秩序。”

中国国家发改委表示，将制定实施扩大消费“十五五”（2026年至2030年）规划，使居民有稳定收入能消费、没有后顾之忧敢消费、消费环境优获得感强愿消费。

据21世纪经济报道，中国国家发展改革委副主任王昌林星期五（4月17日）在“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会上，介绍“十五五”时期推动居民消费率明显提高的重点安排。

王昌林表示，目前中国超大规模市场优势还没有充分发挥出来，扩大消费特别是服务消费潜力巨大。下一步，将深入实施提振消费专项行动，更好发挥消费对经济发展的基础性作用。

王昌林从四方面展开阐述。一是增强居民消费能力，具体措施包括健全就业促进机制，强化劳动者技能培训，促进劳动者技能就业、技能增收，稳步提高最低工资标准。多渠道增加城乡居民财产性收入，持续提升居民消费能力。

二是提升消费品质，用好消费品以旧换新政策，以高质量供给提高居民消费意愿；开展服务业扩能提质行动，增加生活性服务业高品质多样化便利化供给等。

三是注重培育消费场景。充分发挥中国超大规模市场和丰富应用场景优势，打造更多互动式、智能化消费新场景。

四是注重优化消费环境。从“硬投资”来讲，要统筹各类资金渠道加快消费基础设施建设，包括中央预算内投资支持养老、托育、文旅、体育等设施建设，发行消费基础设施房地产投资信托（REITs）等，运用超长期特别国债资金支持线下消费商业设施设备更新。

从“软建设”来讲，要积极推动各地优化限行限购、新型消费、市场准入等政策措施，加快清理优化消费领域不合理限制性措施，共同营造愿消费、敢消费、乐消费的良好环境。

王昌林也表示，鼓励更多有条件的地方积极探索中小学春秋假，同时做好学生假期与家长带薪年休假的衔接，增加亲子游、研学游、假期托管等服务供给，让家长有更多时间陪伴孩子出行。

市场调研公司数据显示，美国苹果手机一季度在华出货量激增20%。图为美国苹果公司在纽约总部外的标志，摄于2019年9月。 （路透社档案照）

市场调研公司Counterpoint Research发布的数据显示，受记忆晶片价格上涨推动成本增加的影响，中国手机市场的整体出货量出现下滑，美国苹果手机一季度在华出货量激增20%，增长势头为主要手机制造商中最强。

据路透社报道，受供应链干扰和晶片价格飙涨影响，作为世界最大的智能手机市场，中国今年1月至3月的手机出货量下滑4%。

不过，中国两大智能手机制造商华为和苹果却逆势而上，分别在一季度取得2%和20%的增长。

Counterpoint Research资深研究分析师林科宇说，“在多数竞争对手抬高售价的情况下，苹果手机以物有所值著称。中国消费者均知道，苹果手机至少可用上三年。

林科宇说，高端和廉价系列的强劲需求，带动华为手机的出货量，其中畅享90系列（Enjoy 90）在一季度为华为抢占20%的市场份额。

华为以上述市占率继续领跑中国智能手机市场，苹果则以19%位居第二。
