Iran’s state television IRIB states that this means that the key waterway “has been closed again and that passage requires Iran’s approval.”

Iran’s Central Military HQ:
Iran agreed to allow a limited number of ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz according to agreements.#Boot The US did not fulfill their obligations.
So, the Strait of Hormuz is now #closed again and passage requires IRAN approval.— IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting) (@iribnews_irib) April 18, 2026
The Joint Command of Iran’s military has announced that it will bring the Strait of Hormuz back under “strict control” in response to the US decision to maintain its blockade of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf. US President Donald Trump confirmed yesterday that the US blockade remains in force despite Iran previously easing its own blockade of that key sea passage, crucial for world oil exports.
