Trump: US could seize control of Strait of Hormuz
President Trump told Fox News the US could take control of the Strait of Hormuz and collect tolls on shipping, describing Washington as the 'guardian angel' of the waterway. He threatened to obliterate Iran if it closes the strait.

Three Indian-flagged crude oil tankers carrying over 8.6 lakh MT of cargo have successfully crossed the Strait of Hormuz and are en route to India, offering reassurance over the country's energy supply amid Gulf tensions. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/indian-oil-tankers-strait-of-hormuz-transit-2026-iczem6ll?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #StraitOfHormuz #IndiaOilImports #CrudeOil #EnergySecurity
Stop ignoring the data: the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for 4 months. 'Pro-system' narratives claiming otherwise are mere disinformation. With commercial traffic down 85%, we are facing a systemic energy crisis. The immediate consequence? A forced, deeper descent into the CapexTrap, where industrial survival will now require severe, non-negotiable energy sacrifices. Reality is hitting hard.

Oil dependency is often framed as an import problem. In reality, it is a system design problem.

Many Asian refineries are optimized for Middle Eastern crude, with long-term contracts covering over half of demand. That makes switching suppliers structurally difficult, even when alternatives exist.

Dependency therefore sits not just in trade flows, but in refinery configurations, contracts, and supply-chain architecture.
