Within a day of the peace agreement, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again. This was announced by Khatam Al-Ambia Central Headquarters, the top joint military command in Tehran on Saturday. They claim that America and Israel have violated the ceasefire agreement. This is why this step has been taken. As a result, it is believed that shipping through Hormuz has stopped again. Although Washington claims again, Hormuz is not closed but remains open.
On Saturday, ‘Khatam Al-Ambia Central Headquarters’ said in their statement that Israel is continuously attacking southern Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire. On the other hand, America is also breaking trust. In view of this, Hormuz has been closed. Not only that, they also described this move as Iran’s ‘first step’. Besides, they warned, if America and Israel continue their aggression, Tehran will take more steps. On the other hand, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also issued a statement. It is said there, ‘All types of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have been stopped. Any ships approaching these waterways may face security risks.’
But on Friday it was known through sources that Iran has closed Hormuz. Since then, the uproar has subsided. Tehran made it official in a statement on Saturday. But America is claiming again, Hormuz is still open. As a result, a kind of complication has been created with the whole matter. The stalemate returned to this strategic waterway? The question arises.
