Iran Re-Closes Strait of Hormuz, Jeopardizing Fragile US-Iran Ceasefire

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has announced the re-closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic, citing Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon.

The move comes just days after a US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding aimed to reopen the waterway, which handles approximately 20% of the world’s oil supply.

The IRGC’s action threatens to escalate tensions and disrupt global oil markets, creating new uncertainty about the fragile agreement.
