While the destruction of Iranian civilization that Donald Trump threatened has been postponed, issues and potential issues with the Strait of Hormuz still exist.
Yesterday, the USA sent naval vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, despite threats from Iran (https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/several-us-warships-reportedly-transit-strait-hormuz-pakistan-talks-led-vance-start).
Could we see a Hormuzageddon? I came up with that term a while back after seeing the following:
Europe’s Hormuz Armageddon
European political and intellectual elites have spent the past few decades pushing the risk of imminent Climate Armageddon. Some of us can still picture the young Joschka Fischer, a Leftist of the Greens party who took oath of office as Environment Minister in the German state of Hesse wearing sneakers and jeans in 1985. …
The unprecedented Strait of Hormuz closure
The Strait of Hormuz, connecting the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world, has always been the world’s most critical energy chokepoint, carrying roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG and delivering cargoes from Middle East producers mainly to Asia, with smaller volumes to Europe, the US and the rest of the world. Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz is also affecting about a third of the world’s fertiliser trade, raising prices 30% to 40% and threatening food supply security around the world.
It also accounts for large shares of the global supply of sulphuric acid and helium, which are key to important chemical processes in fertiliser manufacturing, phosphate fertiliser production, metals refining, semiconductor fabrication and medical imaging. The Middle East accounts for 45-50% of global seaborne sulphur trade. Qatar alone supplies around 30-36% of global helium production. …
Western Europe’s energy karma
Europe is the first developed regional energy domino to fall. For two decades the continent has pursued an ideological energy experiment: Energiewende, nuclear phase-outs, punitive carbon pricing and ever-escalating Net Zero targets that deliberately sever its access to affordable, dispatchable hydrocarbons. The latest EU Parliament commitment to 90% CO2 cuts by 2040 is merely the latest chapter in that self-harm. The result, even before Hormuz, was Europe’s industrial base hollowing out, households paying the highest electricity prices on earth and an economy dependent on expensive spot market LNG cargoes (relative to long term LNG sales contracts). With a history of banning fracking, shutting down nuclear and coal power plants and marginalising the full potential of North Sea resources (with the non-EU exception of Norway), the EU and UK face their energy karma. Haughty Europeans are paying the price for their own energy folly. …
Europe’s Hormuz Armageddon is not merely an energy crisis. It is the moment the post-war geopolitical illusion ends — and the real multipolar world, cold, hard and unforgiving, begins. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2026/04/03/europes-hormuz-armageddon/
Yes, Europe has energy and other problems.
The Europeans blame the USA for putting them in a position to have to pay more for energy, deal with tariffs, spend more on defense, change interest rates, and take other actions.
Europe may have a recession and a major banking crisis.
Related to Europe facing a banking crisis, notice something the late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Herbert W. Armstrong, said in a sermon on July 7, 1984:
And I can see now, the event that is going to trigger the formation of the reunification in Europe; the resurrection of the medieval Holy Roman Empire that we’ve been looking forward to that is prophesied to come…
But I believe that some event is going to happen suddenly just like out a blue sky that is going to shock the whole world and is going to cause the nations in Europe to realize they must unite! … Well now I think I can see what may be the very event that is going to trigger…that is the economic situation in the world…
The whole banking structure in the United States is a network all jointed together. But not only that, one nation has to deal with other nations and imports and exports. And so they have to have a means of transforming money from one nation to another. And so the banking structure is international and interwoven…
Now when the financial structure breaks down, all civilization is going to break down…
So, an economic or banking crisis is what Herbert W. Armstrong concluded would drive Europe to unite.
And, I agree that it will take some type of crisis for Europe to reorganize (and likely with multiple issues, including migrant ones).
The Bible shows that a major reorganization is prophesied to happen and push Europe under totalitarian control:
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
Economic issues will be one of the factors that will get Europe to decide to reorganize and support a dictator that the Bible calls the Beast.
There is an expression that “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.” The USA is turning friends into enemies, and that is consistent with biblical prophecies (e.g. Lamentations 1:1-2). Expect the European Union to trade more with other nations.
Europe is facing many challenges, and many are directly and indirectly pushing the Europeans away from the USA.
