YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Just hours after agreeing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has again blocked ships from passing through waterway — blaming it on Israel striking Lebanon. “Due to Israeli strikes in #Lebanon, oil tankers will not be permitted to pass through the Strait of #Hormuz,” the Iranian embassy in Mumbai posted to X on Wednesday, citing Iran’s Fars News Agency. It comes after Iran threatened to “destroy” any ships that attempt to cross the strait without Tehran’s go-ahead as it attempts to set up a toll system to charge vessels to safely sail through the strait.
