(6 April 2026) It is now 10 pm MST April 6, or, 5 AM GMT, April 7. As of now, the Strait of Hormuz has been blocked for 37 days, from any traffic that the regime does not approve of.
Only Iranian oil, and only that which is purchased using Chinese Yuan, as well as a $2 million toll paid in Yuan, may pass through.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 is still in play. And it will remain in play until the regime is completely disbanded, or until the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
Persian Ram Defiant
Trump had set a deadline of April 7, Tuesday evening, for the regime to surrender or submit to a deal for ending the war.
However, an advisor (a Mahdi Mohammadi, on X) to Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf, stated,
“Trump now has about 20 hours to either submit to Iran or his allies will return to the Stone Age.
“Iran has clearly won the war and will only accept an ending that stabilizes its achievements and creates a new security regime in the region. We will not back down.”
From this statement, it looks like the regime will not do what Trump wants.
Trump’s Four Options
According to this analysis, the Trump administration has four options in proceeding in the war. The four are: (1) seizing Kharg Island, (2) breaking the Iranian blockade of the strait, (3) carrying out a military extraction of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, or (4) a final wave of strikes targeting energy and water infrastructure.
None of these look to have a good outcome for the US. The first three may cost the US military dearly, and the fourth will result in the regime destroying all Arab oil infrastructures in the Middle East, if the regime is not bluffing.
Conclusion
The next phase may happen tomorrow. It may be delayed if Trump decides to delay. Any delay is another opportunity to prepare for what is coming even if its only food shortages from the fertilizer cut off.
Keep watch.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opinion/iran-war-strait-hormuz.html
This is behind a paywall, so here some excerpts:
“The world order was moving toward three centers of power: the U.S., China and Russia.
Now a fourth center of global power is quickly emerging: Iran.
It does not rival them economically or militarily but through control over the most important energy choke point in the global economy.
President Macron of France said as much on Thursday when he declared that it was unrealistic to open the Strait of Hormuz by force and that this can only be done in concert with Iran.
The Gulf states will increasingly have to accommodate Iran because it controls their exports.
Imagine Iran with control of about 20 percent of the world’s oil, Russia with about 11 percent and China able to soak up much of that supply. They form a cartel to deny the West 30 percent of the world’s oil. Global power shifts from the U.S. and Europe toward China, Russia and Iran.
This is a transformational war, and if these changes continue for even a few years, the global order will change irrevocably.
The United States faces a difficult choice: either commit to a long-term effort to reassert control over the Strait of Hormuz, or accept a new global energy arrangement in which U.S. control is no longer assured.”
(By the way, Ukraine is doing its very best to decrease Russia’s 11%, and at the moment it seems to be succeeding very well.)
It seems to me that each of the four options from the Israelhayom analysis will lead to the scenario above, only the time the shift takes will differ per scenario.
Only a regime change in Teheran could really prevent it, but that is not going to happen.
If the second signpost proper does not happen within months, Iran and its regime will recover and become a ram with the first horn very much weakened and the second horn, now big, growing even more for some time to let an even worse second signpost happen after years.
The third signpost then might not only be a revenge attack from Turkye to Iran, but the West trying to regain global power.
Adamant,
Daniel 8:4b – – “He did as he pleased and became great.” Controlling the Strait of Hormuz looks to be part of that “became great.”
