VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the provided Wikipedia evidence confirms that Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense and Dan Caine is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and mentions a '2026 Iran war', there is no mention in the provided evidence of a specific press conference or reports regarding 'kamikaze dolphins' in the Strait of Hormuz.
