Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated that the Strait of Hormuz has undergone major changes and will not return to its previous condition.
In a statement issued on Monday (April 6, 2026), the IRGC said the key waterway has seen “irreversible strategic changes.” The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and is one of the most important routes for global oil and gas transport.
The announcement came shortly after Donald Trump urged Iran on social media to reopen the Strait. His remarks are part of rising tensions linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has already disrupted energy supply routes.
Iran has effectively restricted movement through the Strait since the conflict intensified, raising concerns about global energy markets and shipping security. The region remains under close watch as countries monitor developments that could impact fuel prices and trade.
The IRGC’s statement signals that the current situation may continue for the foreseeable future. As tensions remain high, global attention is focused on diplomatic efforts that could help restore stability in this critical maritime corridor.
