Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz again as Israel ramps up strikes in Lebanon, leaving ceasefire on the brink

The two-week ceasefire announced on Wednesday between the United States and Iran has come under strain as Tehran has reportedly closed the Strait of Hormuz once more.

US President Donald Trump clarified that such a move was “not included” in the ceasefire agreement. As reported by IRNA, Iran has stopped the movement of oil tankers in the critical waterway following Israeli strikes which has once again ignited renewed concerns over vital global energy passages.
