Iran pushes back against growing U.S. military presence in the region. Tehran has condemned the operation as a violation of the fragile ceasefire framework and a political provocation, warning it will not allow any external control over the strategic waterway.

The United States, meanwhile, is ramping up its deployment—sending naval destroyers, surveillance aircraft, and unmanned systems under CENTCOM coordination, officially framing the mission as securing maritime navigation.

The crisis comes amid reports of attacks on vessels, shipping disruptions, and a de facto blockade affecting global oil flows, raising fears of a direct maritime confrontation.

What’s unfolding now is a dangerous balancing act—between humanitarian claims of protecting trade routes and the very real risk of military escalation. As diplomacy and deterrence move side by side, the Strait of Hormuz once again becomes the world’s most critical and volatile chokepoint.

00:00The Naval and Aerospace Forces of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, in accordance with warning statements from the Katamalambia Central Headquarters
00:08as of this morning in the 98th wave of Operation True Promise 4, by God's grace, they have launched their
00:16offensive operations against American and Zionist Command, Operational and Logistical Headquarters and Military Industrial Infrastructures.
00:25In the initial phase of this operation carried out this morning, the combatants of the IRGC Navy successfully targeted the
00:31container vessel SDN-7, which is affiliated with the Zionist regime, using a cruise missile.
00:36Following its destruction, the ship was engulfed in a massive fire.
00:41The amphibious assault ship of the terrorist U.S. military hull number LHA-7 Shia Shanishan Hamandir Sabaysanay came under
00:49attack from aggressive projectiles.
00:51After this wave, it was forced to retreat deep into the Indian Ocean.
00:55The areas north and south of Tel Aviv's strategic centers located in Haifa, chemical companies and manufacturing plants in Beersheba,
01:01and the primary gathering point for Zionist military personnel in Peta Tikva, were all precisely struck by ballistic missiles launched
01:08by the Valiant Aerospace Force of the IRGC.
01:10In another part of the ongoing offensive operations, the joint production facility for the Israeli regime's drones located in the
01:16Emirates and a number of aircraft deployed at the Al-Alexander Base were accurately struck by drone and missile attacks.
01:24In the second phase of the 98th wave, the American Al-Adiya Base in Kuwait came under missile and drone
01:33attacks by the IRGC Aerospace Force, and following this operation, the helicopter storage facilities and the living quarters of the
01:40invading forces of the terrorist U.S. Army were destroyed.
01:42The command and assembly control centers of the United States' victory base in Baghdad were effectively targeted through successful and
01:50powerful operations carried out by the Iraqi Islamic resistance.
01:54Additionally, five hideouts and organizational sites belonging to terrorist groups in northern Iraq were also effectively struck by drone attacks
02:03following intelligence reconnaissance.
02:04The courageous personnel of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a meticulously executed and precisely planned operation
02:11employing advanced destructive unmanned aerial vehicles during the past several hours, have subjected the Al-Qarj base and the Al
02:17-Adiya camp utilized by American terrorists to the devastating impacts of a rush to destructive drones.
02:22The deployment of E-3 AWAC surveillance aircraft and MQ-9 reconnaissance drones effectively serves as the eyes of the
02:26United States across the entire region.
02:27Furthermore, considering the strategic stationing of these specific types of aircraft, along with essential aerial refueling planes at the Al
02:32-Qarj airbase, it is evident that this particular base holds an absolutely critical and indispensable role in providing comprehensive support
02:37for all American military operations conducted within the area.
02:39Considering the extensive deployment of ground units, special forces, and the highly specialized Night Stalkers helicopter unit, Al-Adiya camp,
02:45strategically situated in Kuwait, played a truly pivotal role in the enemy's unsuccessful operation in the southern region of Isfahan,
02:51which has now come directly under the impact of precise and coordinated attacks by our nation's armed forces.
02:56For Aran's air defenders in the army in Ardowsi, under the Integrated Air Defense Network's control, successfully shot down an
03:03orbit drone in Karman Shah in recent hours.
03:08One Hermes 900 drone in Andimesh, two MQ-9 drones in Isfahan and Chesham, and one Jaseb cruise missile were
03:13intercepted by the brave men of the IRGC.
03:16Additionally, two Tomahawk and Jaseb cruise missiles in Tehran and Hamadan were intercepted by the valiant men of the army.
03:24The rude, insolent remarks and baseless threats of the delusional American president stemming from his entanglement in a deadlock and
03:33his attempts to justify the repeated failures of the U.S. army will have no effect on the continuation of
03:39the offensive and crushing operations by the warriors of Islam against American and Zionist enemies.
03:45And it will not be able to compensate for America's humiliation and destruction in the West Asia region.
03:51By the grace of the Almighty God, with every single action that you undertake, another defeat will surely be added
03:57to all your previous failures.
04:17Two days ago, the U.S. Treasury Secretary stood up and told the world America has complete control of the
04:25Strait of Hormuz.
04:27Today, a bulk carrier was swarmed by multiple small craft and attacked, 11 nautical miles off the Iranian coast.
04:36Complete control.
04:39The Strait of Hormuz, the choke point that keeps the world's lights on.
04:45One-fifth of global oil trade squeezes through this narrow channel every single day.
04:51And right now, it is anything but controlled.
04:57UK MTO warning 050-26 just dropped.
05:02The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, the body that monitors commercial vessel safety across the region,
05:10has confirmed a fresh attack on a northbound bulk carrier entering the strait,
05:15approximately 11 nautical miles west of Sirik, Iran.
05:19The vessel was swarmed by multiple small craft.
05:23All crew confirmed safe.
05:25No environmental impact reported.
05:28But the ship was hit in one of the most watched waterways on Earth.
05:35Here's what makes this particularly embarrassing for Washington.
05:39Just 48 hours ago, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant posted on X outlining American pressure on Iran.
05:48Currency shortages, food and gasoline rationing, international isolation, a naval blockade squeezing Iranian ports.
05:57And then came the headline claim.
05:59The United States maintains, quote,
06:03Complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.
06:05Complete control.
06:09Two days later, UK MTO issues a warning.
06:13A commercial vessel is attacked by a swarm of small boats less than a dozen miles from Iranian territory.
06:20If that's complete control, the question writes itself.
06:25What does incomplete look like?
06:28Open source intelligence points to the Minoan Falcon, a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier owned by Greek company Majesty Ship Trade
06:37Ltd as the likely vessel involved.
06:40Critically, the ship was headed toward an Iranian port at the time of the attack.
06:45No group has yet claimed responsibility.
06:48Authorities are investigating.
06:50The identity of the attackers matters enormously here.
06:54Was this IRGC fastboats?
06:57Unaffiliated armed groups?
06:58A warning shot?
07:00An attempt to board?
07:01Those answers aren't public yet.
07:03But the pattern is.
07:07Throughout 2026, the Strait of Hormuz has seen projectile strikes on container ships, fires on cargo vessels, and repeated small
07:16craft harassment.
07:17Many incidents have been linked to IRGC activity.
07:21UK MTO has issued warning after warning urging vessels to maintain heightened vigilance.
07:28The U.S. says it has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.
07:32Iran says it will turn that Strait into a graveyard.
07:36And somewhere between those two claims, a Greek-owned bulk carrier just got attacked by a swarm of small boats
07:4311 miles off the Iranian coast.
07:46Complete control.
