WASHINGTON: (Web Desk) – Speaking alongside US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, General Kaine said that strict monitoring and restrictions are being enforced in the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that vessels linked to Iran are being closely watched and any attempt to provide assistance at sea would face action. He added that several ships, including those carrying Iranian oil, have already been forced to turn back.

Secretary Hegseth warned that Iran must make careful decisions, stressing that failure to reach an agreement could lead to renewed military operations. He said the United States maintains overwhelming military capability and remains fully prepared for any escalation.

He reiterated that the United States would not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons and emphasized continued enforcement of measures in the Strait of Hormuz until further notice.
