Iran warns Strait of Hormuz closure over Israel strikes
Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon, warning that approaching the strait jeopardizes security. The move follows Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and increased tensions after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, with Iran citing violations of the ceasefire and ongoing Israeli aggression. The Strait is a critical global shipping route through which about 20% of the world's oil passes, and the closure impacts international energy trade. Despite Iran’s announcement, the US indicated that safe passage remains, and commercial ship traffic continues.
