Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz Friday instead of heading to Switzerland for nuclear negotiations, citing Israel’s refusal to pull forces out of southern Lebanon and US forces’ ongoing presence in the region.

In a statement read over maritime radio channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the US was in violation of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, which President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed Wednesday.

“Since Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete lifting of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of American terrorist forces from the Persian Gulf and the region are among the main conditions of the agreement between Iran and the United States, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until these conditions are met,” it said. “All ships are requested, for the sake of their security and safety, not to approach the Strait of Hormuz. Any vessel that defies this directive will be targeted.”

    Scummy from Iran. The US should immediately block the strait again and get back to bombarding Iran and killing their leaders

        Ehm, is Lebanon part of Iran?

        Were they negotiating peace with the US or peace between Israel and Lebanon.

        I’d like for you to think why is Israel attacking Lebanon, my theory is that Hezbollah didn’t respect ceasefire, but I might be wrong (I’m not).

          Israel attacking Lebanon I dunno, did Israeli an tried to not send settler kill Lebanese civilian ? Because this would be a root cause explaining this kind of tweet from Israel ministers. https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/2067865510281170957

          I see than Israel leadership is using it’s youngling life to attack and taunt (by sending settlers) Lebanese into killing them to justify starting a genocide.

          Geographically no, from an economic and a leaedership point of view yes. I will play along, no it is not, can you explain me why this invalidate the fact than Iran should’nt be attacked because Israel didn’t respect any contracts and attacked an Iranian ally ?
