IRGC Closes Strait of Hormuz, Demands US Blockade End 🇮🇷

"Back to strict control." Just 24 hours after opening, the IRGC has closed the Strait of Hormuz again, blaming the ongoing U.S. naval blockade for the collapse of maritime movement. On April 18, 2026, the IRGC’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters delivered a blow to global shipping hopes. Spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaqari announced that control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its "previous state" of total military management. Despite the Lebanon ceasefire, Iran claims the U.S. blockade is a breach of trust and "maritime theft." This video analyzes the IRGC statement, the impact on the 20+ ships caught in the waterway, and President Trump’s refusal to lift the U.S. naval blockade until a final nuclear deal is reached.
