PANAMA CITY, Aug 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday that the United States military can keep a blockade on Iranian ports for as long as needed.
"Indefinitely the United States Navy can maintain a blockade like that because we'll rotate ships in and out, as we have, and we'll continue to," Hegseth told reporters.
