Breaking News April 15 | Block the Strait of Hormuz? Iran’s Heavy Counterattack and Perfect Circumvention, Trump Completely Humiliated!

Let’s look at the latest core facts chain behind the blockade and counter-blockade:

✅ April 13: The U.S. Central Command announced that a full blockade of Iranian ports would take effect, aiming to cut off the Strait of Hormuz’s international trade lifeline.
✅ April 15: Iran’s Mehr News Agency officially announced the activation of Jask Port in the Gulf of Oman. Oil tankers depart directly into the Indian Ocean, completely bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
✅ Time gap: U.S. announces the blockade → Iran’s officials publicly breaks the deadlock—less than 36 hours.
✅ Strait traffic reality check: - During the blockade, more than 20 commercial ships from various countries passed normally, including multiple large oil tankers.
✅ Iranian and friendly countries’ oil tankers such as China and Russia’s sail through the entire route, opening up “blatant” navigation.
✅ The U.S. military only used radio calls to scare off a small number of ships, with no substantive interception, no firing, and no seizures.
✅ Oil tankers/cargo ships flying third countries’ flags, such as Panama and Madagascar, still shuttle back and forth in the Persian Gulf.
✅ Strong opposition from allies (NATO + Asia-Pacific):
- UK: The prime minister clearly says they “do not support” and “do not participate” in the blockade, refusing to be dragged into war.
- France: Refuses to send ships, holds direct talks with Iran to keep navigation open, with vessels maintaining a “defensive posture.”
- Germany: Says outright there is no need to participate, and opposes military adventurism.
- Spain, Turkey: Condemn the blockade as “totally unreasonable,” calling for peaceful dialogue.
- Japan, South Korea, Australia: All refuse to send troops and do not cooperate with the blockade.
- EU as a whole: Does not recognize the legality of the blockade, plans to take the lead in joint escort operations, and will exclude the United States.

36-hour lightning-speed breakdown! The U.S. blockade turned into an international joke—every ally flipped, and ships worldwide kept running. On April 13, the U.S. just boasted about a full blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off 90% of Iran’s maritime lifeline in one stroke. But in less than 36 hours, Iran directly hit back with a “king move”: activating Jask Port—oil tankers straight to the Indian Ocean, completely bypassing the strait.
So-called “deadly blockade,” right on the spot, turned into a blockade of emptiness—completely pointless. Even more embarrassing is the real situation in the shipping lanes:
With tens of thousands of U.S. troops and more than a dozen warships deployed in formation, still, more than 20 commercial ships from various countries passed through without a hitch. Iran’s super oil tankers boldly cross the strait with AIS on; China’s and Russia’s tankers have smooth passage for the entire route. Even ships flying the flags of Panama and Madagascar come and go freely. Throughout, the U.S. military only dared to make a couple of radio calls—no ship was stopped, none was seized—just all talk, all show.

Trump wanted to strangle Iran in one go,
but: Iran wasn’t blocked, allies were all offended, and the whole world is watching and laughing.
This grand, high-profile blockade—from start to finish—was nothing but a self-staged performance with bluster and empty swagger.
Brent international crude oil prices are still holding strong around $118—how can Trump possibly take that?
