We've had a major breakthrough as far as straight of Hormuz
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
During the opening segment of the April 17, 2026, edition of The Charlie James Show, the host broke down the morning’s massive news that the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely open" to all commercial shipping. James linked this breakthrough directly to the ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, noting that the diplomatic shift has already caused global oil prices to plummet by 10%. While celebrating the potential for lower gas prices at home, the segment emphasized President Trump’s firm stance that the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in "full force" to maintain leverage. James concluded by weighing this victory against rising tensions in the South China Sea, where China has begun its own blockade of the Scarborough Shoal.
