Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz After Accusing US of Violating Ceasefire Deal

In a statement, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all vessel traffic. This step responds to what Tehran calls a breach of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and ongoing ceasefire violations by Israel in southern Lebanon. The statement warned that further measures would follow if perceived aggression continues. The 2026 agreement, signed digitally by Iran and the United States, was intended to end the US-Israeli war effort against Iran and pave the way for a comprehensive final deal. Critics accuse the United States of ignoring Israel’s actions in southern Lebanon. They say Iran’s response is aimed at forcing all parties to honour the ceasefire terms.
