赫格斯瑟称伊朗没有“自杀海豚”

美国战争部长皮特·赫格斯瑟在周二的五角大楼新闻发布会上表示，伊朗并没有所谓的“自杀海豚”，驳斥了近期有关伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡可能采取的战术的报道中出现的这一离奇说法。
“我无法确认或否认我们是否拥有自杀海豚，但我可以确认他们没有，”赫格斯瑟说道。
这一疑问源于《华尔街日报》的一篇报道，该报道称伊朗官员至少曾讨论重启冷战时期的项目，该项目涉及训练海豚，使其能够携带水雷冲向敌方舰艇。
美军参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军似乎对这一说法并不了解，被问及此事时笑着做出回应。

“我没听说过自杀海豚的事。这就像带激光束的鲨鱼，对吧？”他说道，此处引用了《王牌大贱谍》电影中的虚构武器。

美国军用海豚此前曾投入战斗，但并非作为武器。伊拉克战争期间，海军训练的海豚被部署到波斯湾，帮助清除乌姆盖斯尔港的水雷，利用其天然声呐定位并标记水下爆炸物，以便潜水员将其引爆。
美国海军长期以来一直在训练海洋哺乳动物执行探测水雷、追踪潜水员等任务，冷战时期的苏联项目则尝试了更具攻击性的用途。
据报道，伊朗于2000年从前苏联的项目中获得了海豚，但目前没有确凿证据表明此类能力仍在运作。

军用海豚的训练目标是探测并标记威胁，而非发动攻击——而且与制导武器不同，它们一旦被部署就无法实时操控。

霍尔木兹海峡是全球交通最繁忙的海上咽喉要道之一，由于通过这一狭窄水道的商业和军事船只数量众多，此类战术尤其难以实施。
这一猜测正值该地区紧张局势升级之际，伊朗历来依靠海军水雷、无人机和快速攻击艇等不对称战术威胁航运。

Hegseth says Iran doesn’t have ‘kamikaze dolphins’
War Secretary Pete Hegseth says Iran does not have weaponized dolphins as Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine jokes the idea sounds like “sharks with laser beams.”

War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran does not have so-called “kamikaze dolphins” — dismissing an unusual claim that emerged from recent reporting on Iran’s potential tactics in the Strait of Hormuz.
“I can’t confirm or deny whether we have kamikaze dolphins, but I can confirm they don’t,” Hegseth said during a Pentagon briefing Tuesday.
The question stems from a Wall Street Journal report that said Iranian officials have at least discussed reviving a Cold War-era program involving trained dolphins capable of carrying mines toward enemy ships.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine appeared unfamiliar with the claim, reacting with a laugh when asked about it.

“I haven’t heard the kamikaze dolphin thing. It’s like sharks with laser beams, right?” he said, referencing the fictional weapon from the “Austin Powers” films.

U.S. military dolphins have been used in combat before — but not as weapons. During the Iraq War, Navy-trained dolphins were deployed to the Persian Gulf to help clear mines from the port of Umm Qasr, using their natural sonar to locate and mark underwater explosives so divers could neutralize them.
The U.S. Navy has long trained marine mammals for missions such as detecting underwater mines and tracking divers, and Soviet programs during the Cold War experimented with more offensive uses.
Iran reportedly acquired dolphins from a former Soviet program in 2000, though there is no confirmed evidence such capabilities are active today.

Military dolphins are trained to detect and mark threats, not strike them — and unlike guided weapons, they cannot be directed in real time once deployed.

The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most heavily trafficked maritime choke points, would make such a tactic especially difficult to execute, given the volume of commercial and military traffic moving through the narrow passage.
The speculation comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where Iran has historically relied on asymmetric tactics such as naval mines, drones and fast-attack boats to threaten shipping.
