Strait of Hormuz Crisis: The World Just Shifted
Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious. Iran’s parliament has just voted to approve the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. If you watched last week’s video, I warned this was coming. Many said it would never happen—but here we are. And this doesn’t just mean higher fuel prices. In the worst-case scenario, it could cause total collapse in some developing nations. We’ve seen it before.
Now here’s the part no one wants to hear: if this plays out, it won’t be over quickly. This could go on for months. But the West—the US, UK, France, and others—won’t sit back. The UAE and Saudi might pretend to play neutral, but they won’t stop it either.
We’ve got US troops already in position. I said on Friday that I believed Trump was using strategy—not waiting two weeks to respond, but getting everything ready for a strike. And sure enough, hours later, that’s exactly what happened. Iranian nuclear sites were bombed. Israel is now striking IRGC positions, and Trump has warned of further military action.
The closure of the Strait—even for a few days—would send shockwaves through the global economy. It handles around 20% of the world’s oil. You’d feel it instantly: inflation, market chaos, rising fuel costs. And no, crypto doesn’t just explode when there’s instability. It all trades within one giant liquidity pool. As one market gets hit, others feel it.
Now, let’s talk impact. If this strait is fully closed:
Oil could spike to $150 per barrel
Shipping would panic
Insurance markets would freeze
Global stock markets would nosedive
Naval forces would mobilise
And if it dragged on for weeks or months? That’s where it gets really dangerous. We’re talking global recession. Maybe even a depression. Central banks would lose control. Developing nations would start collapsing. Protests. Food shortages. Supply chains shut down. Government failures.
We’ve already seen two oil supertankers turn around. Four million barrels just reversed course. Why? B-2 bombers were en route. That’s not a coincidence. Iran doesn’t even need to officially close the Strait—a single strike on a tanker or a hit on the Port of Fujairah could destabilise everything.
China, India, Japan, Europe—they’d all feel the squeeze. The US? Not as much. Since Trump opened up domestic energy, they’re on their way to full energy independence.
Now here’s where it gets geopolitical: Iran’s Supreme Leader has asked Russia for help. But Russia hasn’t responded. Why? Because they bought Iranian drones and weapons—they weren’t gifts. And with Ukraine still active, Putin doesn’t want to get dragged into a war with the US. Same with China. They need oil, but they don’t want a fight.
What about the Middle East? Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait—they’d be nervous, but they’d back the US. They’d increase oil output, despite the threat of Iranian drone or missile retaliation.
Meanwhile, gold is surging. I believe it was up around 40% this year last I checked. Why? Because gold reacts to fear and instability. It’s not just retail investors—hedge funds and institutions are shifting capital into gold. Same with defence stocks. Every missile fired, every jet deployed, means massive replacement costs. Billions.
Let’s talk Western response. If Iran closes the Strait, expect airstrikes. US, UK, France—they’ll move fast. First the skies, then the fleet. Economic sanctions would tighten even more. And if Iran did strike a US base, it could trigger NATO Article 5. One attack equals attack on all. We’re already seeing RAF jets deployed, and NATO readiness is being signalled.
BREAKING: Iran has just fired six missiles at a US base in Qatar. Explosions reported over Doha. This is real-time escalation. Trump is in the war room as we speak. This base houses CENTCOM HQ. British troops are also there. It’s confirmed by Iranian state media.
We’re entering extremely dangerous territory. If the Strait stays closed for 30 to 60 days, this would make the 1970s oil crisis look mild. We’d see full-blown global collapse.
Trump has also warned about sleeper cells. The FBI believes many have crossed the US border and settled in sanctuary cities. They’re monitoring serious threats now in London, Berlin, Paris, New York, LA, and Seattle. UK has issued terror alerts as well.
There are encrypted messages, pamphlets, calls for resistance now inside Iran. Israel has launched another wave of strikes. Iran is returning fire with drones and long-range missiles.
We need to stay calm but prepared. This isn’t going away tomorrow. Have your essentials in place. And if you haven’t yet, take action to protect your financial future. That includes the Gold & Silver course I’ve been building for weeks—and the Psychology of Wealth Accumulation, which is finally back on offer.
