“护送”
用英语怎么说？

To counter the crisis, the United States launched targeted air strikes against naval sites and imposed a naval blockade to pressure Iranian commerce. Historically, during the 1980s "tanker war," American warships escorted merchant ships through the Gulf to maintain maritime safety. Meanwhile, persistent threats have pushed Gulf exporters to look for viable options to bypass the volatile waterway. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have developed extensive overland pipelines to redirect their oil exports. However, these alternate facilities lack sufficient capacity to absorb all normal traffic, meaning that closing Hormuz still triggers an inevitable global shortfall.

为了应对危机，美国对海军设施进行了有针对性的空袭，并实施了海上封锁以对伊朗贸易施压。从历史上看，在20世纪80年代的“油轮战争”期间，美国军舰曾在海湾地区护送商船以维持海上安全。与此同时，持续的威胁促使海湾出口国寻找可行的选择来绕过这条动荡的水道。沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国已开发出庞大的陆上管道来转移石油出口。然而，这些替代设施缺乏吸收所有正常运力的能力，这意味着封锁霍尔木兹海峡仍会引发不可避免的全球短缺。
