Donald Trump’s war with Iran is likely to drag on for another six months, Leon Panetta, the former US defense secretary, has warned, as the US president struggles to find his way out of the controversial conflict.(特朗普对伊朗的战争可能再拖六个月，前防长帕内塔警告，总统正苦寻出路。)
美国前国防部长莱昂·帕内塔警告称，特朗普总统的对伊朗战争可能还要拖上六个月，而这位美国总统正苦于寻找摆脱这场争议冲突的出路。
Panetta declared in an interview that the war with Iran – launched by Trump over six months ago – risks(有……的风险) becoming another “forever war(永久战争，指无休止的军事冲突) in the Middle East”, with no clear end in sight(在望，可见).
帕内塔在接受采访时表示，特朗普在六个多月前发起的对伊战争，有可能演变成又一场“中东永久战争”，看不到明确的结束之日。
“It’s no mystery that the United States and Iran are caught in a terrible stalemate, in which there really are very few options available to bring this war to an end,” said Panetta, who also served as CIA director under Barack Obama, suggesting the conflict is on course to become “another failed war” in the Middle East “like Iraq and Afghanistan”.(帕内塔称美伊陷入僵局，战争可能像伊拉克阿富汗一样失败。)
帕内塔说：“毫无疑问，美国和伊朗陷入了可怕的僵局，实际上几乎没有什么选择可以结束这场战争。”他还曾在巴拉克·奥巴马手下担任中央情报局局长，并暗示这场冲突正朝着成为中东“又一场失败的战争”的方向发展，“就像伊拉克和阿富汗一样”。
