Iran abruptly reversed course on the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, April 18, 2026, declaring it had returned the waterway “to its previous state” and would maintain “strict control” unless the United States ended its blockade of Iranian ports. The reversal came less than 24 hours after Iran had declared the strait open to commercial traffic. As detailed by The New York Times, the brief window of openness had followed the start of a cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon
