02:38Iran's IRGC Navy issued a chilling warning to Trump.
02:50That line, now going viral, is widely being interpreted as a direct job at Donald Trump.
02:57And it didn't stop there.
02:59The IRGC Navy declared the strait of Hormuz closed, one of the most critical oil routes
03:06in the world.
03:06Nearly 20% of global oil passes through this narrow stretch.
03:12The message, broadcast on International Maritime Channel 16, was blunt.
03:17Ships linked to Iran's enemies will be targeted.
03:21And all vessels must now seek permission from Iranian forces to pass.
03:27But here's where it gets more complicated.
03:29Just hours earlier, Iran's own foreign ministry had claimed the strait was open for business.
03:36That position was quickly overruled by the IRGC, signaling a clear divide between diplomatic
03:43messaging and military control.
03:46Meanwhile, on the ground, or rather at sea, there is already enforcement.
03:51On April 18th, IRGC gunboats opened fire on multiple commercial vessels, including Indian-flogged
04:00ships near the coast of Oman.
04:02No injuries reported, but damage confirmed, and ships forced to turn back.
04:09India has since summoned Iran's ambassador, as tensions spill beyond the region.
04:15Now, enter Donald Trump.
04:18Responding to Iran's attempts to control the strait, he said, no way, there will be no
04:23tools.
04:24On the strait, are there going to be restrictions and tolls managed by Iran for ships and vessels
04:29passing through?
04:30No way.
04:31None at all?
04:32Nope.
04:32No restrictions?
04:33No.
04:33Mr. President, you just said, Mr. President.
04:36Restrictions, yeah, there'll be restrictions.
04:38You can't do the tolls.
04:39No, they're not going to be tolls.
04:41The U.S. position remains clear.
04:44The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, and no single country can control
04:49or restrict global passage.
04:51But in reality, Iran doesn't need legal ownership to exert control.
04:57With fast attack boats, coastal missiles, and sea mines, the IRGC operates what experts
05:03call a mosquito fleet strategy.
05:06Small, fast, and highly aggressive.
05:09They can swarm ships, harass them, or even seize them, creating a de facto control of the
05:16region during high tensions.
05:18Still, a full closure of the strait would come at a massive cost.
05:24It could trigger direct U.S. military response and choke Iran's own oil exports.
05:30So, what we're seeing now is pressure, a strategic signal from Iran against the ongoing U.S. naval
05:38blockade.
05:39The situation remains fluid and highly volatile, because in the Strait of Hormuz, even a single
05:46miscalculation could escalate into a much larger conflict.
05:50And the world is watching closely.
