The commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has strongly declared that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and warned that any ships trying to pass will be “set on fire” by Iran.
According to the latest report by @DeItaone, the Revolutionary Guard commander stated that due to recent military actions by the US and Israel against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is now under blockade, and Iran will take extreme measures against violators, including direct attacks and setting ships on fire.

This statement quickly drew international attention, as the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global energy transportation, with about 20% of the world’s oil and a large amount of natural gas passing through daily. Currently, shipping data shows a significant decrease in vessel traffic through the strait, with many oil tankers and cargo ships choosing to halt, reroute, or avoid the area to evade potential risks.
Market analysts suggest that this development could drive up global oil prices, increase shipping insurance costs, and cause chain reactions in the energy supply chain. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as the involvement of US and allied navies and Iran’s potential further escalation will determine the future of Middle East tensions.
