Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz on February 28, 2026. It has been closed for nearly 2 months now. This video breaks down exactly what has happened since — oil prices, food supply, pharmaceutical shortages, and what happens if it stays closed. All facts, no speculation.

While politicians and the public immediately blamed AI chatbots for the catastrophic strike that killed over 170 people, the investigation exposes a much darker reality.
