Talk:United States announces blockade on the Strait of Hormuz

While waiting for review

While waiting for review, consider addressing the following:

• Attribution vs assertion: The lede states:
  • "the US is imposing a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz..."

While the sentence begins with "...Trump has announced...", the structure risks reading as a statement of fact. Consider separating or repeating attribution (e.g., "Trump announced..." / "He said...") to clearly distinguish the announcement and its stated intent.

• Tone:
  • "Ghalibaf scoffing at the blockade..."

"Scoffing" is editorial; use neutral wording (e.g., "said" or "responded dismissively").

• Claims vs facts:
  • "the blockade will start at 10:00AM ET..."

Ensure this is clearly attributed, not presented as independently verified.

• Causation:
  • "Oil prices have increased... in the aftermath of news of the blockade..."

Avoid implied causation; attribute the observation to a qualified source where possible (or the reporting outlet if necessary), or as a last resort, use neutral phrasing such as "following the announcement" or "amid reports".

• Balance:

Currently limited to US + Iran. Consider adding third-party or contextual viewpoints if available.

• Minor:
  • "has announced" → "announced" Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Reviewer) 17:50, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

@Michael.C.Wright: The start time of the blockade is already attributed to the US Central Command. Other than that I have applied the feedback for the most part. CheatCodes4ever (sandbox | CentralAuth) 11:11, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
