在與伊朗緊張局勢升溫之際，美國對荷姆茲海峽發動海上封鎖
US initiates naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz amid rising tensions with Iran
二〇二六年四月十三日，美國在至關重要的荷莫茲海峽實施了海上封鎖。
On April 13, 2026, the United States launched a naval blockade in the critical Strait of Hormuz.
此舉源於原本在伊斯蘭堡舉行的和平談判破裂，該談判旨在結束始於二月底的伊朗戰爭。
This maneuver follows the breakdown of peace negotiations in Islamabad aimed at ending the 2026 Iran War, which started in late February.
美國中央司令部表示，該行動專門針對往返伊朗港口的船隻，同時致力於確保國際航運通道對他國暢通。

川普總統提到，任務包含清除水下地雷以及攔截向伊朗支付過路費的船隻。
Central Command stated the operation specifically targets vessels moving to or from Iranian ports, while aiming to keep international transit lanes open for other countries.
經濟分析師認為，此舉旨在透過壓力妨礙伊朗的出口，並迫使其改變核政策。
President Trump noted that the mission includes removing underwater mines and stopping ships that pay tolls to Iran.
局勢仍處於不穩狀態；伊朗譴責此舉為非法海盜行為，並揚言將對區域內港口進行報復。
Economic analysts believe this pressure is designed to hinder Iran's exports and force changes in its nuclear policies.
與此同時，包括英國在內的關鍵盟友選擇不參與，將維護全球能源穩定視為優先事項，而非直接軍事介入。
The situation remains volatile; Iran has denounced the move as illegal piracy and vowed retaliation against regional ports.
由於荷莫茲海峽負擔了全球約二成至二成五的海運石油，國際社會仍對潛在的經濟危機及對全球能源安全的持續威脅感到深切憂慮。
Meanwhile, key allies like the United Kingdom have opted out, choosing to prioritize global energy stability over direct military involvement.
