Day 26 of Oil Blockage: Delay in American Invasion

By Mark Davidson on March 26, 2026 • ( 0 )

(26 March 2026) It is now 9 pm MST March 26, or, 4 AM GMT, March 27.

As of now, the Strait of Hormuz continues to be blocked. It has been blocked for 26 days. About 416 to 520 million barrels of oil have been removed from global oil supplies by Iran’s closing of the Strait of Hormuz.

The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 is still in play. Until the regime is completely disbanded, or until the Ram runs out, this is not over.

Three themes of news stories came to light today.

News Thread 1: US Military Action Delayed Again

President Trump claims talks with Iran are going well and so he has delayed again a possible attack on Iran’s power plants. Earlier, he had delayed the attack from two days to five days. It has now been delayed to ten days. Trump wrote,

“As per Iranian Government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction by 10 Days to Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 P.M., Eastern Time.”

So those few days we might have had left before Iran would lash out as a response on the Arab nations’ oil facilities, has been delayed from April 1 to April 6.

News Thread 2: American Invasion of Iran

The Times of Israel reports that Trump is leaning toward American troops invading the Iran’s Kharg Island. Trump is also reported as saying that he believes Iran should surrender at that point.

He still doesn’t understand the Twelver Shia religion/regime.

Meanwhile, the regime has reported that it has one million troops ready to oppose American ground forces.

News Thread 3: Another Nation Unsettled by Second Horseman

This ZeroHedge report tells us that the Philippines is now in a state of emergency. Since 98 percent of that nation’s oil goes through the Strait, it has 45 days left, and so it is rationing fuel. The Philippines has also instituted fuel rationing.

Imagine what would happen if that nation, or Japan, or Australia, which all have a few weeks of fuel start heading to zero because of extended blockage of the oil from the Middle East.

That would truly be the full effect of the second horseman.

Conclusion

We have (supposedly) until April 6 before the next surreal thing happens in this Iran War, and possible Second Signpost. We have been given more time to prepare our minds, our hearts, and our material supplies.

Since the regime has been surprising the US at every turn, by not surrendering, and continuing to rain missiles and drones down on various targets, I fear for our troops landing on Kharg Island.

Keep watch.
