Iran has reportedly shut down oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz again, following continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon despite the recent ceasefire. ()
According to Iranian state media, tanker movements through the strategic waterway have been halted, with only a very limited number of vessels being allowed safe passage under direct Iranian approval. ()
The move comes after renewed tensions in the region, with Tehran accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire terms by continuing military operations in Lebanon. ()
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil routes, and any disruption is expected to raise fresh concerns over global fuel prices and energy supply stability. ()
