US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the Navy could sustain an indefinite blockade of Iran by rotating ships. The United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran on February 28; after a June cessation-of-hostilities memorandum, Washington resumed large-scale strikes on July 8, accusing Tehran of violating terms related to the Strait of Hormuz.
TTASSOriginal★★★★☆2026-08-13 16:51
The United States has enough military assets to sustain a naval blockade of Iranian ports for an unlimited period, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday. He said ships could be cycled into and out of the region as circumstances require.
With the U.S.-Iran war dragging on and no end in sight, oil traders and policymakers are confronting a critical question: whether global oil stocks can sustain the market through another six months of conflict.
Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is under its management and control, rejecting President Donald Trump’s claim that the United States has “total control” of the waterway. Iranian officials said vessels need Tehran’s permission to transit and that the strait will not reopen unless the US meets commitments under an interim deal.
Iran on Thursday rejected Donald Trump’s claim that Washington controlled the Strait of Hormuz as “lies and fabrications.” Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s central military command, said the waterway was fully under Tehran’s control. Trump had said a day earlier that the US had “total control” of the strait.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesman for Iran’s armed forces headquarters, said Iran has full control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian television quoted him as saying that no commercial ship or tanker can safely pass without permission and supervision from Iran’s armed forces. Donald Trump said the previous day that the US had “total control” of the strait.
The US and Iran remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz while mediators try to revive talks. Iran rejects Washington’s claim of control and says the waterway will stay closed until its demands on US aggression, reparations and sanctions are met. Shipping has fallen to a one-week low as Iran restricts passage, while the US maintains a naval blockade around Iranian ports.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that the United States controls the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says it will not fully reopen the strait until Washington meets its conditions, while experts say the situation is much more complicated than Trump’s proclamation suggests.
