Iran reportedly closes Strait of Hormuz as ceasefire agreement remains in peril
Iran state media reports that the strait is now under a "complete closure" due to Israel continuing to bomb Lebanon.
Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency reported Wednesday that the country is closing the Strait of Hormuz, less than a day after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with Iran.
Fars said tanker traffic would come to a “complete stop,” citing what it described as Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including attacks in Lebanon. Israel has said it will continue operations in Lebanon, arguing it was not part of the agreement, a claim disputed by Iran.
The report said two ships were allowed to pass through the strait before Iran reversed course.
