There are three US Navy Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups in the Persian Gulf as we speak. One of the carriers is our newest and best (so far), the USS Ronald Reagan.

Any attempt to blockade or mine the Straits of Hormuz or any other part of the Gulf will be met with destruction of the vessels involved.
