30:52Now PlayingUS Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters at a news briefing today that the US naval blockade of Iran’s ports “is growing and going global.”
“No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the United States Navy,” Hegseth said.
In touting the blockade’s success, the defense secretary pointed to US seizure of two ships this week “in the Indo-Pacific region that had left Iranian ports before the blockade went into effect.”
