Iran on Saturday announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the US and Israel of violating a recent ceasefire agreement. Tehran described the move as the “first step” in its response and warned of further action. However, US Vice President JD Vance said there was no evidence of a closure and expressed confidence in the ceasefire

Days after the peace deal, Iran on Saturday closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Iran's top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said that the strategically important waterway would be closed to vessel traffic, citing alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement by the US and Israel, Iran's Mehr state news agency reported.

The development comes after Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed at least 26 people, according to a TOI report.

However, US Vice President JD Vance said he was confident the ceasefire can be maintained, adding that there was no evidence Iran was closing the Strait of Hormuz.
