Tension in the Gulf: Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz

In an unusual move that raises the level of tension in the Middle East, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy announced overnight (June 20, 2026) the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels. According to the report by GLOBAL ANALYST 🕎 عالمي, which is affiliated with Iranian propaganda channels, the decision was made "following the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon and the violations of the US's commitments."

According to the Revolutionary Guard's announcement, an unequivocal warning was issued for vessels to avoid approaching the strait, emphasizing that "their safety will be in danger." This is a threat with significant global economic and geopolitical consequences, as the strait serves as a vital artery for the transport of global oil.

The report, which gained widespread resonance among Israeli Telegram channels such as Suleiman & Blumenthal, comes against the backdrop of the escalation on the northern border and the increased military activity of the IDF in Lebanon. As of this hour, no official confirmation has been received from Western sources or the central Iranian government regarding the actual enforcement of the closure, but the threat signals another escalation in the multi-front campaign.
