United States was not proactive in this war,ordinarily, they should have known that Iran would always hold on to the strait of Hormuz, so all efforts should have been concentrated on securing the place.
I agree with you, But the united states had no option, Isreal was bent on hitting Iran no matter the cost and the US had to quickly get involved to limit Iranian damage to its allies in the middle east

Before you heap empty praises on Israel please show us the aftermath of Iran Missiles on Israel before we start discussion.

If the dare lift the censorship and news blackout imposed on citizens and journalists in Israel.
There is no aftermath, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem just like other Isreali cities are doing fine, less than 20 isrealis mostly old women and the sick died, no isreali combatant injury not to talk of death.

Those AI videos were as fake as BS...you are probably the only who did not know this by now.

Smh.

You are ignorant. Since Iran denied it and threatened to blow up any military vessel that attempts it, Centcom has not released any press release to counter Iran.

They attempted to cross but were turned back and Trump himself is aware.

You will believe anything because you are ignorant.

Those are western media propaganda platforms being used by the west to paper their humiliation and disgrace.

A powerful US naval drone was shot down over hormuz on Thursday yet never made it to the mainstream western media.

Western media will keep you ignorant forever if you keep feasting on their propaganda news. The news on Yuan receiving huge flows from massive oil trade transactions since Iran started controlling the strait has been hidden too to prevent serious dumping of US stocks and bonds.

US lost the war and Trump is literally gone by US mid terms election come November.

Here's the reality of the war

You keep calling me ignorant when you're the one displaying all the signs. I post Fortune magazine, you post YouTube video!
Remember when you were arguing vociferously that Netanyahu was dead? Then there was 57 US soldiers killed. Then there were all those US soldiers killed durring the airmen rescue! You accompany all with photographs and elaborate diagrams. grin. Soon this one will also be confirmed beyond doubt. Aren't you tired of being wrong?😅

📰 US Warships Cross Strait of Hormuz for First Time Since Iran Conflict Began

Washington / Gulf Region — April 11, 2026

Two United States Navy warships have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first such transit since the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Iran.

The move represents a significant escalation in naval activity within one of the world’s most strategically vital maritime corridors.

---

⚓ Operation Details

According to U.S. defense officials, the warships, identified as guided missile destroyers, conducted the transit as part of an operation aimed at ensuring freedom of navigation and maintaining maritime security.

The passage is also believed to be linked to ongoing efforts to secure commercial shipping routes, particularly following reports of naval mines and threats to tanker traffic in the region.

---

🌍 Strategic Importance of the Strait

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow but critical passage connecting the Persian Gulf to global markets. A substantial portion of the world’s oil supply passes through this route daily.

Any disruption in this area has immediate consequences for:

- Global oil prices
- International shipping
- Energy security worldwide

---

⚠️ Iran’s Response

Iranian authorities have reacted strongly to the development, warning that the presence of U.S. naval forces in the area could heighten tensions and potentially violate ongoing diplomatic understandings.

However, in a contrasting statement, Iranian officials disputed the U.S. claim, asserting that no such transit occurred, further highlighting the growing information divide between both sides.

---

🕊️ Diplomacy vs Military Tension

The transit comes amid a fragile ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic engagements aimed at de-escalating the conflict. Despite these efforts, the situation remains volatile, with both nations continuing to assert strategic influence in the region.

Analysts suggest that the U.S. naval movement signals a dual approach:

- Maintaining military readiness
- Supporting diplomatic negotiations from a position of strength

---

📊 Global Implications

The renewed military activity in the Strait of Hormuz raises concerns among global markets and governments.

Energy dependent economies are closely monitoring developments, as any escalation could disrupt supply chains and trigger economic ripple effects worldwide.

---

📌 Conclusion

The crossing of U.S. warships through the Strait of Hormuz underscores the fragile balance between conflict and diplomacy in the region.

While negotiations continue, the presence of military forces signals that the path to lasting stability remains uncertain.

Sadly it's all false news as usual


The Financial Times, citing two informed sources:

Discussions about reopening the Strait of Hormuz still represent a major point of contention.

Iran insists on maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz and imposing transit fees on ships.

Iranian negotiators have rejected the proposal for joint management of the Strait of Hormuz.
So did the US ship carrying out the blockade got to the other side of the strait?
