美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯与参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军在周四的新闻发布会上表示，尽管与伊朗的战争正处于为期两周的停火期，但如果任何船只不遵守霍尔木兹海峡的封锁规定，美军已做好随时应对的准备。凯恩表示：“如果你不遵守封锁规定，我们将使用武力。”
赫格塞斯称，美国将维持对霍尔木兹海峡的“成功封锁”，并表示美军可以“迅速转型”，从当前的封锁状态切换到“大规模战斗行动”。他强调：“在特朗普总统的指示下，战争部将确保伊朗永远不会拥有核武器。我们倾向于通过由副总统和谈判团队领导的协议以温和方式达成目标，或者我们也可以采取强硬方式。”
凯恩指出，封锁适用于所有进出伊朗港口的船只，无论其国籍。他提到，目前已有13艘船只在封锁面前做出了“明智的掉头选择”。美军中央司令部（CENTCOM）随后在社交媒体上表示，在封锁开始的前72小时内，已有14艘船只掉头。
美方官员告诉CBS新闻，封锁行动正在霍尔木兹海峡紧邻的阿曼湾海域执行。作为回应，伊朗官员公开威胁要击沉美国舰船并关闭红海这一第二条主要水道。目前，通过霍尔木兹海峡的航次仍保持在极低水平。

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said at a news conference on Thursday that U.S. forces stand at the ready if any ships do not comply with the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz despite the two-week ceasefire in the war with Iran. "If you do not comply with the blockade, we will use force," Caine said. Hegseth said that the U.S. will maintain the "successful blockade" of the Strait of Hormuz. Hegseth said the U.S. military can "make the transition" from this blockade to "major combat operations." "We can make that transition again very quickly and even more powerfully than ever," Hegseth said. "At the direction of President Trump, the War Department will ensure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon, never. We prefer to do it the nice way through a deal led by our great vice president and negotiating team, or we can do it the hard way." Caine said the blockade applies to all ships, regardless of nationality, heading into or from Iranian ports. Caine said that so far, 13 ships made the "wise choice of turning around" amid the blockade. He said that so far, the U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, have not had to board any particular ships. About two hours after the briefing, CENTCOM said on social media that 14 ships had turned around in the first 72 hours of the blockade. The U.S. began enforcing its naval blockade on Iranian ports on Monday as Iran has sought to maintain its grip on the Strait of Hormuz and limit transits of the waterway, which normally carries one-fifth of the world's oil. The blockade is being enforced in the Gulf of Oman, immediately outside the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told CBS News. In response, Iranian officials have publicly threatened to sink American ships and close a second major waterway, the Red Sea. Meanwhile, transits of the Strait of Hormuz have remained well below pre-war levels since the ceasefire began.
Thursday's news conference comes just over eight days into the ceasefire, which jumpstarted negotiations to end the war. Iranian and U.S. negotiators did not strike a deal after talks in Pakistan last weekend, with major disagreements still lingering over Iran's nuclear program, but Mr. Trump has said there could be another round of talks in the next few days.Hegseth continually pushed Iran to "choose wisely" to make a deal, saying "in the meantime, the War Department is locked and loaded." Caine also emphasized this point, saying the U.S. joint forces "remains postured and ready to resume major combat operations at literally a moment's notice." Mr. Trump posted on social media on Wednesday that Israel and Lebanon will speak as Israel has continued to hit Hezbollah targets. Both the U.S. and Israel have insisted that Lebanon is not part of the tenuous ceasefire that began on April 8.
