US Navy destroyer in Red Sea shoots down cruise missiles potentially headed toward Israel: Pentagon_我的网站

一 |     The USS Carney, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer in the northern Red Sea, on Thursday shot down multiple missiles and drones launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen that the Pentagon said were potentially headed toward targets in Israel.It is the first time in recent memory that a U.S. Navy ship in the Middle East has engaged missiles and drones that were not directly aimed at the vessel.It's also the first U.S. military action taken to defend Israel in the current crisis and with the U.S. and other countries trying to contain the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the possibility that an Iranian-backed proxy group fired missiles and drones at Israel is sure to increase growing regional tensions.The ship was in the northern Red Sea on Thursday evening local time when it intercepted three land attack cruise missiles and several drones, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said at a press briefing. U.S. officials told ABC News that the Carney had brought down eight drones launched by the Houthis.The preliminary U.S. assessment was that the USS Carney was not the target of any of the Houthi missiles or drones, according to multiple U.S. officials."We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea potentially to targets in Israel," said Ryder who added that information about the engagements was still being processed.It’s unclear from where the Houthi militia's missiles were fired but they were headed in a northerly direction, an official said.The Houthis are an Iranian-backed Shiite movement that has seized control over much of northern Yemen and has been at war with recent years while Yemen has been at war with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015.As part of that conflict, the Houthis have launched missiles and drones deep into Saudi Arabia, but it appears that the missiles intercepted on Thursday were not aimed at targets inside Saudi Arabia.Last week, Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi was quoted as saying that if the U.S. directly intervened in the Gaza conflict his group would respond by firing drones and missiles, and take other military options."There are red lines when it comes to Gaza," he said.Thursday's incident occurred during the early evening hours (local time) when the missiles and drones were detected moving northward above the waters of the Red Sea.The missiles fired by the Houthis were engaged by SM2 missiles carried aboard the USS Carney, a U.S. official told ABC News. No information was released about what weapons platform aboard the Carney brought down the 8 drones.Brig. Gen. Ryder told reporters that the intercepts had taken place over water and not land. No sailors aboard the ship were harmed according to a U.S. official.The United States has boosted its military presence in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war nearly two weeks ago.The USS Carney is part of the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group that was deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to deter Iran and Hezbollah from joining the Israel-Hamas war. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently extended the deployment of the Ford strike group so it can remain in the eastern Mediterranean and had ordered the deployment of additional fighter aircraft to U.S. airbases in the region.To increase U.S. deterrence of an expansion in the conflict the Ford will soon be joined in the eastern Mediterranean by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group that left Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday and could arrive in the region over the next 7 to 10 days."By posturing these U.S. naval assets and advanced fighter aircraft in the region, we aim to send a strong message intended to deter a wider conflict to bolster regional stability and of course to make it clear that we will protect and defend our national security interests," Ryder told reporters Thursday.The USS Carney had just transited into the Red Sea through the Suez Canal on Wednesday which is why the destroyer was still located in the northern stretch of that body of water that borders, Egypt, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.The missile shot down by the USS Carney will bolster the deterrence in the region and demonstrate that the show of force is serious stuff, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.The risk to U.S. forces and U.S. interests in the region has increased particularly in the wake of a deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza earlier this week that inflamed regional tensions.On Wednesday, three drones were shot down by U.S. military forces as they neared bases in western and northern Iraq, another drone was shot down near U.S. forces in eastern Syria on Thursday.A U.S. contractor sheltering in place at one of the bases in Iraq died of a cardiac arrest in one of the incidents.Al Asad airbase in western Iraq experienced indirect fire on Thursday according to a U.S. official.The Carney's shootdown of Houthi missiles opens up the possibility that the U.S. Navy may have to position more ships in the Red Sea if the U.S. commits to protecting Israel from a southern attack said Steve Ganyard, an ABC News contributor and a former Pentagon official."The larger concern is if Iran now considers U.S. ships fair game," said Ganyard. "Because if the Houthis shoot at a U.S. ship there will be little doubt that it would have been at Tehran’s direction.""That said, there is nothing to suggest, no known reason to believe that Iran wants a fight with the U.S. and/or Israel," said Ganyard. "So, hopefully things calm down."ABC News' Martha Raddatz contributed to this report.。    以下包含 HBO 剧集《灯侠》(Lanterns) 第 2 集的严重剧透。继上周詹姆斯·冈恩与彼得·萨夫兰领导的 DC 宇宙最新剧集《灯侠》(Lanterns) 首播集之后——由于该剧果断决定在开篇即让传奇绿灯侠哈尔·乔丹（凯尔·钱德勒 饰）领便当（尽管是在其 2026 年的时间线中），这引发了粉丝的热议与关注——本周的剧集节奏稍缓，重点转向了剧集的核心悬疑（设定在 2016 年的时间线）。

二 | 虽然《灯侠》(Lanterns) 的大部分内容仍植根于地球，描述哈尔在警长凯恩（凯莉·麦克唐纳 饰）管辖的内布拉斯加州拉什维尔镇调查，而约翰·斯图尔特（阿伦·皮埃尔 饰）则被派去取回他导师的灯炉，但剧集在结尾终于让我们领略到了其宇宙化的一面。

三 | 在约翰向哈尔汇报了由安坦（保罗·本-维克托 饰）领导的伪装成人类的外星人情况后，哈尔决定在剧中首次穿上制服（不包括上周看到的简短电视采访闪回）并飞向太空。这名绿灯侠不仅进入了太空，还飞向了欧阿星 (Oa)——这里是统治整个绿灯军团的宇宙守护者的家园。哈尔去欧阿星做什么？是为了探望他曾经的导师，也是他的宿敌——塞尼斯托（乌里奇·汤姆森 饰），他在几年前变节后目前正处于监禁中。乍一看，这部剧可能会被误认为只是另一部设定在美国小镇的侦探剧。

四 | 但当第 2 集结尾那样的场景出现时，毫无疑问，这就是关于太空警察绿灯侠的故事，一个可以随时飞往另一个星球的男人。“就像凯尔在首播集的酒吧里说的那样，‘何时以及何处使用戒指才是关键’，”剧集主管克里斯·蒙迪在被问及剧中绿灯戒指的使用时告诉我。

五 | 对于他和他的团队来说，何时使用以及何时不使用戒指的决定绝非轻率之举。“这是哈尔的性格使然，也是我们对自己的一种提醒，”他继续说道。“我们希望每一次大规模使用戒指都能显得实至名归。我们从微小的、带有玩票性质的地方开始，比如那张 20 美元的钞票之类的，这样每次我们使用它时，观众都会信任我们，会觉得‘噢，他们并没有一直到处乱用特效’。是这些角色在决定何时使用，正因为如此，塑造这些角色的编剧也知道何时该使用，何时不该使用。”蒙迪强调，如果涉及戒指的某些情节感觉脱离了角色或故事，编剧们认为选择正确的角色/故事时刻比单纯为了视觉奇观而展示戒指更为重要。“随着剧情的发展，我们意识到这部剧对戒指能力的承载力比我们最初预想的要大，这很棒，”他说。

六 | “能大量使用它且感觉自然，这种感觉很好。
