Abstract generation in progress
ME News report: On April 18 (UTC+8), U.S. officials said that the U.S. military is preparing, within the next few days, to inspect and board oil tankers related to Iran in international waters and to seize commercial vessels, expanding the scope of its naval strike operations beyond the Middle East.
As this plan is rolled out, the Iranian military continues to strengthen its control of the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, it attacked multiple commercial ships and announced that the waterway is under Iran’s “strict control.” These developments have caught shipping companies off guard. Yet, just a day earlier, Iran’s foreign minister claimed that the strait had been fully opened to commercial ships—a statement that was praised by President Trump.

So, will the Strait open or not? It depends on who tweets that day.

Trump just praised openness, and immediately afterward, a merchant ship was attacked—this script is so Web3.

This geopolitical narrative is more intense than Layer 2 competition.

The phrase "the next few days" is used well, giving the market enough time for FUD.

That Holzmuz switch is held tighter than the exchange's stop-loss.

Trump's praise has a shorter validity period than a local dog project.

The foreign minister advocates for openness, while the military calls for control; Iran's internal consensus mechanism needs to be upgraded.
