The Iranian military says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again over Israel’s attacks on southern Lebanon.
Iran said Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon are a breach of Tehran’s agreement with the US to end the war.
“Do not approach the Strait of Hormuz; otherwise, your security will be jeopardized,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said.
The US-Iran deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz – a shipping channel through which about 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes.
About two dozen people have reportedly been killed by Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, less than 24 hours after a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was announced.
The Iranian military accused the US of violating the US-Iran deal by not implementing the first clause in the 14-point memorandum of understanding, which agrees to “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”.
