So I also hear people say that the only reason why Iran closed the strait and was charging tolls was because of the US attack on the site they kept their uranium.
And only since 2026 has this been an issue.
So...

Restrictions and Closures in the History of the Strait of Hormuz​

https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=525e...mK0hvcm11eitoaXN0b3J5JmZvcm09Q1NCUkFORA&ntb=1
The Strait of Hormuz has never been fully closed in modern history, but it has been the site of repeated disruptions, threats, and partial restrictions over centuries

Historical Context​

• 1507–1622: Portugal captured Hormuz and issued cartazas—paid permits—requiring ships to trade only with them, effectively restricting who could pass through History.
• 19th–20th centuries: The strait remained a key Persian Gulf trade route, but control shifted with colonial powers and later oil interests.

Major Disruptions​

• 1980s “Tanker War” (Iran–Iraq War): Both sides attacked tankers, mined parts of the Gulf, and used fast-attack boats. While the strait remained open, shipping was heavily damaged, and international naval forces (notably U.S. and European) escorted tankers under Operation Earnest Will News18+1.
• 2011–2012: Iran threatened to close the strait in response to Western sanctions, warning of a complete shutdown if sanctions continued. Naval forces were deployed to deter closure.

Modern Threats and 2026 Crisis​

• 2026 Iran–U.S.–Israel War: In March 2026, after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the strait was effectively closed. Attacks on commercial ships and threats of further strikes halted nearly all tanker traffic, though some vessels still managed to transit AP News+1.
• Pre-war signals: In the weeks before the war, Iran signaled it could disrupt passage and even carry out a temporary partial closure, raising insurance and routing costs but not a sustained legal blockade factually.co.

Why It’s Rarely Fully Closed​

The strait’s narrow width (about 20–21 nautical miles) and deep waters make it difficult to block completely for long periods. Any closure usually involves partial restrictions, minefields, or attacks rather than a legal, enduring blockade Britannica+1.

In summary: The Strait of Hormuz has never been truly closed in modern times, but it has been repeatedly disrupted by military action, sanctions, and political threats, with the most severe recent case occurring in 2026 during the Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict Britannica+2.

So its not the first time, but hopefully it will be the last.

ok
I don't know if any of this helped anyone to understand whats happening.
I just like picking up my pick and shovel and going excavating.
You never know what you might find.

New Zealand’s petrol price is about 30.8% above the global average of ~$1.51 USD/L

Another Kiwi posted about $3.20 per litre
That's over double what we are paying in Australia

If the news came from Trump ...wait about 2 hours and you'll find out it was all a big fat lie. He's just manipulating markets to line his family's pockets. Lol

Read the Sunday and Monday news. What are the headlines? Big lie? You just hate Trump, no matter what he does that is good: close the borders, strengthen the economy, deport criminals, remove Maduro, a fascist dictor, rid Iran of the Ayatollah Khamenei and nuclear program, assisting in peace deals with many countries
... and the list goes on. Obama and Biden were do nothing, destructive presidents. Trump has done more good in one year than they did in 12.

Why bring up Biden and Obama? No one here is excusing any of their bad decisions. And yet, the entire world now is paying through the nose for Trump's greedy and murderous actions. There is more war today than prior to Trump entering the WH ...and you call that "peace"?? I guess if Trump says it, that makes it true (for you blind followers). You brainwashed worshippers have very selective eyesight and memories.

Go ahead and fall in line with the Rothschild Ashkenazis who have called Trump their messiah, king, and prince of peace. I won't worship him.

Rev 2:9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Rev 3:9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Iran's regime was very close to having a nuke. You don 't remember their chants, " Death to Israel", " Death to the USA"? Greed? War with Iran is not an act of greed. We aren't taking their oil - but maybe we should take a few billion barrels for our inconveniences?

Rothchilds used to be powerful. Their offspring family has long since divided amd dispersed their wealth in many directions. The UN, EU leaders, nor Central Bankers had nothing to do with this war - they are all cowards and weak, allowing massive Islamic migrations that are destroying their cultures rapidly.
Where are you getting your information? Who called Trump king or messiah? No one I know worships him. I worship Jesus. And btw, 1/3 of Israel happen to be real Jews.

Rev 2:9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Hold on, this is about the 1st century Church in Symrna. In the present day people ha e the right to believe e and claim who they are and YOU cannot take that away from them. If someone claims to be a Christian, the same holds true. YOU do not know what is in their hearts.
Rev. 7 & 14 confirm that God has preserved the twelve tribes unbeknowst to anyone and in fact out of them choses 144k male virgins from each tribe.
And btw, if some of these tribes ble d into the Askenazis, so what? "Genetic studies consistently show that Ashkenazi Jews share a common ancestral lineage with other Jewish populations (like Sephardic Jews). Their DNA traces back to the ancient Middle East, along with a degree of Southern European (mostly Italian) ancestry due to historical migration and intermixing during the Roman era. " wiki
