YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIran has 'closed' the Strait of Hormuz again, Iranian state media says. Any passage through the key shipping lane will require Iran's approval, the broadcaster IRIB reports. A military spokesperson accused the US of not meeting its obligations after Donald Trump refused to lift America's own blockade of Iranian ports. The key shipping lane had seen the "first major movement" of ships since the start of the war this morning. It came after Iran's foreign minister said the strait is open to commercial traffic again to coincide with a ceasefire in Lebanon.
