🔥The Strait of Hormuz has been shut again—yet again, and again!
What politicians say and what they do are like fooling around, completely disregarding the people—no professionalism at all.
The closure and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have been driven by tensions between the US and Iran, leading to repeated shutdowns and relaunches of the strait, sparking turmoil in global energy markets. Many countries have taken emergency measures to cope with oil price swings and supply-chain crises.
Latest development: On June 18, 2026, the US and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding, announcing the lifting of the maritime blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
But on June 20, Iran again closed the strait, claiming that the US failed to live up to its commitments, while the US military said that 55 merchant vessels transited safely that day and delivered more than 17,000,000 barrels of oil—both sides’ accounts are contradictory.
Event background
February 28, 2026: The US and Israel carried out joint airstrikes on Iran. Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and about 20% of global oil transport was disrupted. April 2026: After the strait was reopened briefly multiple times, it was closed again. Iran and the US-Israel repeatedly sparred over ceasefire conditions, causing sharp fluctuations in international oil prices. June 15, 2026: The US and Iran reached a framework agreement, and Brent crude oil prices fell back to around $80 per barrel.
June 18, 2026: The US formally signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran; Iran reopened the strait and the US lifted the blockade.
June 20, 2026: Iran accused the US and Israel of breaching the agreement and again closed the strait; the US military said passage was normal and recommended that merchant ships reroute via the “Southern Route” to avoid risks.
