Risk on the Radar #4

11:00am/20th April 2026“In this week’s episode, we discuss the announcement from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday afternoon declaring the Strait of Hormuz 'open' and what happened next. Vessels began transiting the Strait, only to be turned around after being hailed by the IRGC; others were targeted. By Saturday afternoon, the Strait was declared ‘closed’.
