【伊朗称特朗普经济施压计划是“心理战”】据塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，一名伊朗高级情报人士表示，特朗普的经济施压计划主要是其媒体团队策划的“心理战”，目的是增加对伊朗民众的心理压力。该人士称，美国实际上已经采取了包括一级制裁、二级制裁、海上封锁在内的所有可用手段，特朗普此前关于“打击所有基础设施”“开放霍尔木兹海峡”等表态，被伊方认为更多是媒体宣传，而非实际行动。他表示，此类行动通常在金融市场开盘前展开，目的是控制能源价格，随后特朗普会通过“给予伊朗时间”“地区国家介入调解”等表态缓和局势，相关媒体也会重新炒作美伊谈判。伊方认为，此次经济施压计划与巴基斯坦调解人员访问伊朗同时出现，是特朗普惯用的舆论施压模式，不会带来新的实质性变化。

Front-line forces may need a new drone design within weeks, but Ukraine's defense industry faces a severe shortage of engineers that could slow innovation. BlueBird Tech COO Yurii Faraponov said the company cannot meet some frontline requests due to insufficient engineering staff. Sergii Vysotskyi, deputy chairman of the Ukraine Defense Industry Association, said some firms are asking retired specialists to return to work. Ukraine's working-age population has fallen for decades and accelerated since 2022; industry sources say the shortfall is eroding the strategy of using technology to offset manpower disadvantages as weapons systems become more complex.
