Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Over Israeli Strikes, US Threatens Toll
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The move was presented as retaliation for attacks Tehran says violate a U. S. –Iran agreement. Iranian officials said the closure would affect commercial shipping through the vital waterway. U.
S. Central Command warned that, if a final nuclear agreement is not reached within 60 days, the United States could impose tolls on vessels transiting the strait. The U. S. statement underscored Washington's leverage over the route amid ongoing regional tensions.
