Iranian Armed Forces Promise Direct Retaliation Against Port Facilities After US Announces Total Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — Oil Surpasses $100, Negotiations in Islamabad Collapse and Vice President Vance Leads American Delegation

The Iranian Armed Forces have threatened direct retaliation against ports in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. The statement came after the US announced a total naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran declared that port security will be “for all or for none”. The phrase signals a willingness to escalate the conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz is only 33 km wide. It carries 20% of all the oil consumed in the world.

The Collapse in Islamabad

The negotiations in Islamabad entered into strong diplomatic friction on April 11. The round was described as “exhaustive”.

The US wanted to include nuclear dismantlement in the truce package. Iran categorically refused.

The focus of the impasse is the control of the Strait of Hormuz. It is the main bargaining chip in the conflict that began in February 2026.

After the collapse, Trump announced that the US Navy had initiated a total blockade on the morning of Monday, April 13.

Iran immediately responded with threats to neighboring ports. The escalation was swift.

Oil Surpasses $100

The price of Brent crude oil rose by 6.5% on the day of the announcement. It surpassed the mark of $100.

Before the crisis, Brent was projected between $75 and $85 for 2026. Now, revisions point to $85 to $95.

Experts warn of the need for alternatives to dependence on the Persian Gulf.

The impact has already reached the pump in Brazil: gasoline R$ 6.77 and diesel R$ 7.43.

What Iran threatens to do

Direct retaliation against ports in the Persian Gulf
Permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz
Threat to neighboring countries that support the blockade
Position that security is “for all or for none”

The threat to ports of neighboring countries is particularly serious. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman depend on these facilities.

An attack on port infrastructure would paralyze global supply chains far beyond oil.

Plastics, automobiles, fertilizers, electronics, and chemicals also pass through the strait.

Italy has already refused to participate in the blockade and broke with Trump. The American coalition is losing European support.

Extremely volatile and unpredictable scenario

Analysts describe a potential ceasefire as “temporary relief amid uncertainties”. Structural tensions remain.

Statements from both sides change the scenario daily. A diplomatic agreement could emerge as quickly as the crisis.

Global dependence on the Strait of Hormuz is the Achilles’ heel of the world energy economy.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.
