21.03.2026The Day Hormuz Closure Shocked Energy Markets

Finnish media began the morning with continued coverage of U.S.-Iran tensions, reporting on Russia's new electronic intelligence center in Vienna and difficult U.S. options in Iran. By midday, editorial priority shifted as multiple outlets reported Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with MV-lehti detailing the escalating global energy crisis and domestic fuel concerns. Throughout the afternoon and evening, coverage expanded to include Ukraine striking a Russian oil refinery, Russian espionage risks, and Putin's offer to Trump, while domestic stories included a severe allergic reaction to a stuffed toy and a chef receiving fines at Stockmann, but the energy shockwave remained the dominant story.

Kuten oli heti konfliktin syttymisen päivästä lähtien nähtävissä, eskalaatio tulee olemaan hurjaa ja koko maailman talous on vaarassa. Iran on puolustautunut varoittamallaan tavalla sulkemalla Hormuzinsalmen Persianlahdelle, pysäyttäen tankkerit ja aiheuttaen eskaloituvan energiakriisin sekä energiapulan. Kuten sanoin TOSI TV:ssä tuolloin, Bensiinin ja dieselin säännöstely ja hintaohjaus olisi pitänyt aloittaa Suomen kaltaisissa maissa välittömästi, mutta kuten muissakin kriiseissä on havaittu, valtiomiestaidot puuttuvat globalistihallinnosta.
