Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz to Tankers After Israeli Attacks on Lebanon
The reports noted that tanker movements ceased in parallel with the Israeli strikes, though no further operational details were provided. Earlier in the day, after US President Donald Trump accepted Iran’s conditions and a ceasefire was established, two oil tankers had been allowed to pass safely through the strategic waterway.
The Israeli military reportedly struck over 100 locations “within 10 minutes” across Beirut, the Beqaa Valley, and southern Lebanon, marking the “largest” coordinated strike since the current offensive began.
Trump had announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, stating that Tehran presented a “workable” 10-point proposal for negotiations. The announcement came less than two hours before the expiration of a deadline repeatedly extended by Trump, under which Iran was expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept an agreement or face “the destruction of an entire civilization.”
