Iran says Hormuz closed until further notice, after IRGC fires at ship traversing ‘unapproved’ route
Times of Israel ^ | 7/11/2026 | Staff

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz until further notice and until the end of US “interference” in the region, after firing a warning shot at a vessel it says attempted to transit along an “unapproved” route, state media reports.

The statement says the vessel subsequently stopped.

It warns that no vessel will be allowed to cross the waterway, and if the “enemy” uses the decision as a “pretext” to make any “misstep,” this will be met with a “severe response.”

This conduct is incongruent with a country whose military is “essentially demolished” and who “is begging for a deal.”

It is when the left hand doesn’t know or care what the right hand is doing.

I’m happy that the White House now finally understands that you can’t negotiate with terrorists - even when giving them (Iran) everything they wanted (beyond imagination) in that completely crazy so called “Memorandum”.

Complete and unconditional surrender, please.

They sure do. I’ll wait to see what President Trump says about this.

Iran is not a ‘defeated’ country if it’s still chocking off 30% of the world’s oil flow.

Correct. Your government is lying to you. As usual. Doesn’t matter if the guy in the Oval Office is the one you voted for.

We did. They now use speedboats, waterborne drones, and mines.

We have satellites that allegedly can read the front page of the NY Post. Seems to me that we ought to know exactly where the speedboats and drones are coming from and if so, why haven't we neutralized the bases?
