Iran Again Closes Strait of Hormuz Over Israel-Hezbollah Clashes
Iran’s military has announced a fresh closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Officials say the move responds to renewed Israeli airstrikes and cross-border fire in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire deal. The Hormuz waterway is vital for global oil exports. Even a short shutdown can spike energy prices and unsettle international trade. Fresh clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have delayed planned talks among the US, Iran and other mediators. Observers warn that further escalation could threaten regional stability and global security.
