Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz AGAIN, Amidst Continued US Navy Blockade

Iran has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial shipping, announcing on April 15, 2026, that the critical chokepoint will remain blocked until the United States lifts its naval blockade and halts all hostile operations in the region. The move, confirmed by Iranian state media and the Revolutionary Guard, comes despite the ongoing U.S. blockade that began two days earlier at 10 a.m. ET, creating a dangerous standoff in one of the world’s most vital energy arteries.
