Iran’s joint military command says it is closing the Strait of Hormuz again to vessel traffic, citing ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon and alleging “bad faith” and breach of ceasefire commitments by the United States and Israel. Iranian officials describe the closure as an initial response and warn that further measures could follow if the “aggression” continues. Several outlets report that the statement comes after Israeli attacks in Lebanon kill people, with casualty figures in the sources ranging from at least 16 to more than 25.

Multiple reports also note that ships had begun transiting the strait earlier after an interim U.S.-Iran understanding was signed, and that the renewed closure threatens the continuation of efforts to de-escalate. The sources include references to U.S. officials disputing Iran’s claims, with one report saying there is no evidence Iran is closing the strait.

Separately, outlets report that technical talks to implement the U.S.-Iran deal are planned in Switzerland, and that negotiators are involved in continuing discussions tied to the interim agreement.
