2026-04-18 4 Dailymotion

Is the Strait of Hormuz open or closed? In this faceless news report, we break down the escalating war of words between Iran and the United States.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, has declared that the Strait of Hormuz will NOT remain open if the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports continues. His statement directly contradicts President Trump, who earlier claimed the strait was "open for business."

📌 Key developments in this report:

Qalibaf says the passage requires "Iranian authorization" via a "designated route."

Trump announces Iran agreed to "unlimited" nuclear suspension – Tehran silent

Oil prices drop 12% following conflicting statements

Iran’s state media calls the situation "an atmosphere of confusion."

Both sides engage in social media warfare, including AI memes

📊 Why this matters:
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for nearly 20% of global oil supply. Any closure could send energy prices soaring and disrupt world markets.
