Iran said it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again over Israel’s resumed attacks on Lebanon, its Revolutionary Guard said on Saturday, in what it considers a breach of the ceasefire deal signed between both countries and the United States on Tuesday.
Donald Trump, on Sunday, said that the US and Iran had reached a ceasefire agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the US naval blockade that had disrupted commercial shipping through the strategic waterway after three months of conflict between Washington and Tehran.
The agreement demanded for the immediate and permanent termination of military operations between Iran, the US, and their respective allies across all fronts, including Lebanon, and required all parties to refrain from future military action or threats of force.

The US, Israel and Iran all agreed to the terms. Iran said Israel has now violated them. “This is the first step of response to the enemy’s breach of trust,” Iran’s Central headquarters wrote.
