Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz again, this time due to the “flagrant non-compliance” of the preliminary agreement with the United States that requires Israel to continue bombing Lebanon. Its joint military command calls it a “first step” in a statement in which it announces the “closure to maritime traffic” of the strategic strait due to Israel’s “refusal” to withdraw from the territories of southern Lebanon, despite the fact that the provisional pact with Washington determines the end of the fighting in the country and respect for its “territorial integrity”. In theory, a new ceasefire with Hezbollah has also been in force since Friday, which neither party has respected.
