从目前形势看，无论美以伊战争以何种方式结束，霍尔木兹海峡的秩序都不可能恢复到战前状态。美国海上优势及制海权遭到了伊朗依托特殊地理条件的海上拒止，这再次暴露出21世纪海洋强国力量投送和运用的局限，尽管美国海军和海军陆战队已为濒海作战和应对区域拒止作战磨刀霍霍多年。如何应对伊朗在战时建立起的对霍尔木兹海峡及通行规则的主导、对海湾秩序的塑造能力，恐怕将成为国际社会不得不面对的议题。

Since December 2025, the US has boarded and seized 7 tankers involved in Venezuelan oil transportation and trade within “international waters” of the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic. This series of seizures should be viewed as an extension of the maritime blockade against Venezuela initiated by the US in December 2025, albeit with a broader scope and involving more nations. Among the 7 seized tankers, some were owned by US-sanctioned entities, others had transported crude oil to countries such as Russia and Iran, and several even had connections to China. The legal basis cited by the US for this series of seizures combines domestic and international law, encompassing unilateral sanctions alongside counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism measures. Understanding this “hybrid lawfare” initiated by the US in the Caribbean is key to comprehending the US maritime strategy.
