WASHINGTON — U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said at a Pentagon briefing on April 16 that U.S. forces in the Middle East are prepared to restart combat operations and have mounted a maritime blockade on ships entering or leaving Iran to pressure Tehran to accept a peace deal. This week officials described enforcement as occurring inside Iran’s territorial seas and in international waters and said any Iranian-flagged or supporting vessel could be pursued globally; CENTCOM reported 13 ships turned around and no boardings as of the morning briefing, and the action has been referenced as Operation Epic Fury while diplomatic efforts continued.
