Iran said on Saturday it has shut the Strait of Hormuz just days after a peace deal to end hostilities in the Middle East was signed with the US, in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon that killed dozens.
"In view of the United States' bad faith and its clear breach of its commitments by failing to implement the first article of the memorandum ending the war, and in response to the continuous and ongoing violation of the ceasefire by the Zionist regime in southern Lebanon... It hereby announces that the Strait of Hormuz will be closed to the passage of vessels," the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement that was reported by state broadcaster IRIB, CNN reported.
