🚨 BREAKING: ORMUZ STRONG CONTROL BY IRAN 🌍⚠️


📅 April 18, 2026

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Direct escalation between Iran and the United States
Iran has reopened the Strait of Ormuz, putting the region back in a critical state.

🗣️ Iranian Central Military Command:
“The Strait of Ormuz has returned to the pre-ceasefire state and is under strict control of the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), remaining so until the United States lifts its blockade.”

🔥 What is happening in practice:
Control of the strait is now fully militarized by the IRGC
Ships pass only with Iranian authorization (when permitted)
The decision comes after the US maintained a naval blockade against Iran
📊 About 20% of the world’s oil passes through this route — immediate global impact

⚠️ Turnaround in less than 24 hours
Yesterday: the strait was reopened after the ceasefire
Today: closed again due to direct pressure between the powers
➡️ Shows that the agreement is far from stable
💣 Growing threat climate
Iran accuses the US of “maritime piracy”
There are reports of attacks and gunfire against ships in the region

US maintains position: blockade only lifts with a full agreement
🕊️ Negotiations continue (for now) 📍 New round scheduled for the coming days
But the scenario now is maximum pressure from both sides
📉 Immediate impact
Risk of oil price increase
Global markets on alert
Maritime transport under extreme tension

⚠️ Straightforward summary: 👉 Iran uses Ormuz as a strategic weapon
👉 US uses blockade as pressure
👉 And the world pays the price
