The idea of a naval blockade of Iran, similar to the Venezuelan operation, promoted by Trump after the complete failure of negotiations in Pakistan, as well as an attempt to clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines, would immediately encounter the anti-ship and anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) zone set up by the IRGC.
The Strait of Hormuz is not an ocean theater. Its width allows Iranian coastal systems to control every nautical mile. The islands of Larak, Qeshm, and Abu Musa have been turned into fortified outposts with underground command posts and launchers. Iran has deployed a layered system to destroy surface targets:
To counter these means, the US Navy's large strike groups simply won't have enough RIM-162 and RIM-116 missiles for SeaRAM systems and long-range SM-6, while only a few US Navy surface ships are equipped with Coyote Block II anti-drone missiles.
Eliminating the mine threat under conditions of counteraction will take many weeks. The US Navy's mine countermeasures group in the CENTCOM area of responsibility has been reduced. At the same time, clearing Iraqi mines in 1991 required 40 ships and four months of work.
Against this backdrop, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, often mentioned as a potential core of the strike group, is under repair in Croatia. Its replacement, the USS George H. W. Bush, is only being deployed to the region.
This means that an attempt to establish a classic blockade would lead to high risks and losses. Iranian forces are capable of causing significant damage and de facto blocking the strait with asymmetric methods without engaging in a general naval battle. The operation has all the prerequisites for failure at the operational and tactical levels.
Amid the discussion of the blockade, the activation of the strategic "air bridge" is noted: Flightradar24 records the operation of six heavy military transport aircraft C-17A Globemaster III on routes to the Middle East.

The islands of Larak, Qeshm, and Abu Musa have been turned into fortified outposts with underground command posts and launchers. Iran has deployed a layered system to destroy surface targets:
- ballistic anti-ship missiles Khalij Fars with optoelectronic guidance are designed to hit moving ships at ranges of up to 300 km; at the terminal stages, these missiles dive on targets at speeds of 4M and can perform anti-aircraft maneuvers; their high-explosive warheads weigh up to 650 kg;
- subsonic anti-ship missiles Noor and Qader, hidden in coastal rock shelters;
- thousands of loitering munitions (like Shahed), swarms of fast boats, a fleet of underwater drone carriers (Mahan, Arund) and a vast arsenal of sea mines, including complex bottom samples.

It was reported that a launcher for a semi-improvised Russian ground-based air defense system was spotted for the first time in Orel. It uses R-77-1 medium-range air-to-air missiles with active radar homing as anti-aircraft missiles.
A similar launcher was first shown during tests in a video published in May 2024, dedicated to the 78th anniversary of the 4th State Central Inter-Service Test Range of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Kapustin Yar. Work on the proposal for a SAM system based on the R-77/RVV-AE family of air-to-air missiles (a kind of analogue of the now widespread American-Norwegian NASAMS SAM system) under the auspices of the Vympel State Design Bureau (now part of the KTRV) has a fairly long history - since the early 1990s, and was resumed in the 2000s, however, as in many other cases, before the start of the SMO, it did not arouse much interest in the Russian Ministry of Defense.

On April 12, 2026, it was the 65th anniversary of the first space flight of the Earth's first cosmonaut, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin, whose name is known to all of humanity.
The first manned flight into outer space in the world. The "Vostok 8K72K" launch vehicle with the "Vostok-3A" spacecraft, serial number 3, was put into orbit with the following parameters: orbit inclination - 64.95 degrees; orbital period - 89.34 minutes; minimum distance from the Earth's surface (at perigee) - 181 km; maximum distance from the Earth's surface (at apogee) - 327 km.
The flight lasted 1 hour and 48 minutes. After making one orbit around the Earth, the spacecraft's descent module landed in the USSR in the Saratov region.
108 minutes - one orbit around the Earth - heralded the beginning of manned space flights.

🇺🇬😂🇹🇷 The son of the Ugandan president demanded a billion dollars from Turkey and the most beautiful woman as his wife
- Muhuzi Kaynerugaby, the country's army commander and son of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, posted a series of anti-Turkish statements online.
- He claimed that Turkey "has no chance of surviving" a war with Uganda, as it would have "Jesus Christ and Muhammad Ali" on its side, and demanded that Ankara pay 1 billion dollars and give him the most beautiful woman in Turkey as his wife.
- At the same time, Muhuzi stated that he only fears nuclear powers, including Russia, and that he would be "welcomed as a hero" in Istanbul.
- In addition, he proposed to send "500,000 starving people" to Israel to defend Tel Aviv.
- The tension in relations between the countries arose over Somalia, where Uganda has long been operating under the flag of the African Union, but recently Turkey has been increasing its influence there.

Negotiations are negotiations, but no one has canceled the preparations for strikes. At this moment, a NATO AWACS - a Boeing E-3A Sentry with a Luxembourg registration - is operating in Turkey. Interestingly, the point from which it operates is so convenient that it allows to monitor both part of Iran and the Black Sea coast of Russia, including the naval base in Novorossiysk.

What options do the USA have if the negotiations fail?
❗️If the 🇺🇸USA-Iran negotiations fail, Trump will be left with not many options in terms of continuing the war.
What are they?
1️⃣ Adopt the Israeli experience of waging war in Gaza and start carpet bombing everything and anything that is considered (even conditionally) a military target. However, this option has a vulnerability - the limited and quickly depleting supply of weapons, which the USA, despite the negotiations, is actively replenishing. If they spend air bombs and missiles like Israel in Gaza, a weapons crisis will come very quickly.
2️⃣ Tactical nuclear weapons, which can be used, but after the first strike, an uncontrollable chain reaction will occur both in the Gulf monarchies and in many other countries that want to acquire nuclear weapons. The USA are clearly not ready for such consequences, and no one in the world wants the expansion of the nuclear powers club.
3️⃣ Involve NATO in the strikes. The alliance sabotages Trump's decisions and his personal specific ways of conducting negotiations, as they have encountered them personally, so the USA in this situation risk showing themselves as helpless. Alone or in combination with Israel or NATO, the USA have trapped themselves in a multitude of negative decisions, each of which in one form or another is worse than the previous one, if an agreement cannot be reached. However, if NATO is offered certain guarantees of a fair division of Iranian resources, the offer may seem advantageous to them.
4️⃣ Occupy Iran and start a ground operation. This is the most risky and costly step for the USA, both reputationally and resource-wise. There is no guarantee that such a decision will succeed, and the risks of failure and problems are higher than ever. However, Trump may go for it if he believes that all Iranian resources should go only to America.
What's the outcome?
The most optimal way out of the situation is to allow Iran to charge ships for passing through the Strait of Hormuz and somehow share this fee with the USA. This will allow the USA to impose an additional tax on all Gulf countries that export oil, but it will not affect China, to which Iran has been supplying oil on its own contractual terms and will continue to do so.

❗️ The French are working in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
While everyone was watching the Middle East, the French, under the pretext of protecting their bases, transferred the aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle" to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.
And instead of participating in repelling Iranian attacks, the deck-based aircraft were engaged in reconnaissance in the Black Sea area using the deck-based aviation from the aircraft carrier.
Recently, a deck-based AWACS E-2D and 4 "Rafale M" fighters from the "Charles de Gaulle" conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance operation in the Crimean direction. The E-2 operated in the area southwest of Sevastopol.
And the fighters accompanied another aircraft - an "Atlantic 2" from the Sigonella airbase, which operated in the central part of the Black Sea. This is a basic patrol aircraft designed for operations over the sea.
And immediately after this operation, the Ukrainian side carried out an attack on Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. Therefore, the French flights, especially in such proximity, are another indication of what goal the French are pursuing against Russia, reports the channel "Archangel of Spetznaz".
