Iran declares the Hormuz Strait closed for business

Original version ·

While the US Central Command says the water is wide open, Tehran is busy playing gatekeeper on X.

So, Iran just decided that the Hormuz Strait is officially out of office. Their local Persian Gulf management office dropped a post on X claiming that since US forces are being naughty, nobody gets to sail through for now. They even promised to review applications later—as if they’re running a DMV for oil tankers.

The best part? The US Central Command is literally tweeting at the same time saying the strait is wide open and business as usual. It’s like watching two people argue over the keys to a house while the rest of the world just wants to get home.

Apparently, diplomacy has officially shifted to who can post the most delusional update on social media while warships are moving in the background.

    Wait, so is it closed or not? My ship is currently in the middle of the ocean and this is not helping.

    Just another day of countries trying to dictate global trade via Twitter threads. What a joke.
