Iran Shuts Strait of Hormuz Over US Memorandum Breach

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessel traffic. This decision responds to what Iran describes as a clear breach of Article 1 in the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and ongoing ceasefire violations by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. The statement warns this is only the first step. Further measures will be taken if the United States and its allies continue to ignore their commitments and aggression persists. The Islamabad Memorandum was signed digitally on June 18, 2026, by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump. It was intended as a framework to end the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and pave the way for a comprehensive agreement. The author supports Iran’s action, calling the deal hypocritical and accusing the US of condoning Israeli violations. They challenge former President Trump to respond to this development.
