Again, Iran Shuts Strait of Hormuz, Blames Israel-Lebanon...
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, requiring vessel permits and warning ships to avoid the waterway, citing alleged U.S. violations of a recent memorandum of understanding.
- On Friday, Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed and cancelled scheduled nuclear negotiations in Switzerland, citing continued United States military presence and Israel's refusal to withdraw forces from southern Lebanon.
- The United States Central Command formally lifted its two-month blockade on Iranian ports on Thursday, following a memorandum of understanding signed Wednesday by President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to end regional hostilities.
- According to Simcha Brodsky, president of open-source intelligence group OSINT613, Iran is exploiting ambiguities in the US-Iran MoU. The blockade lifts in phases within 30 days, which Iran uses to argue the embargo has not been fully removed.
- Iran's newly established Persian Gulf Strait Authority released fresh conditions requiring vessels to obtain permits before transiting the waterway, a significant shift from previously unrestricted passage through the internationally recognized open waters.
- The Israel Defense Forces published a map showing expanded military presence more than 6 miles into Lebanon, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, "We will restore security and prosperity to northern towns," requiring a maintained security zone.
