Iran Allegedly Closes Strait Of Hormuz Despite Two-Week Ceasefire

Iran allegedly has closed the Strait of Hormuz because of the Israeli military’s attacks in Lebanon against Iran-backed Hezbollah, The Hill reports.

The outlet cited Iranian state media in its reporting.

However, the White House said reports of the strait being closed are not true.

Speaker of Iran’s Parliament Mohammad Ghalibaf said that Israel’s attacks on Lebanon constituted a violation of the agreement.

The Hill shared further:

The closure of the strait comes as the Israel Defense Forces struck Lebanon on Wednesday, injuring hundreds of people, according to the country’s health ministry.

When asked about the report from Fars news agency, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the report is “false.”

“The President was made aware of those reports before I came to the podium, that is completely unacceptable and again, this is a case of what they’re saying publicly is different, privately,” Leavitt told reporters. “We have seen an uptick of traffic in the strait today.”

President Trump announced a ceasefire deal with Iran, suspending the hostilities after he warned of authorizing a devastating attack against Tehran if the country does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution,” he continued.

“Diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly and powerfully with the potential to lead to substantive results in near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks,” Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X.

“Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war, in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region,” he continued.

More from the Associated Press:

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that an end to the war in Lebanon was part of the ceasefire deal with the U.S. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump said the truce did not cover Lebanon.

“The world sees the massacres in Lebanon,” Araghchi said in a post on X. “The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the closing of the strait reported in Iranian state media was “completely unacceptable.” She repeated Trump’s “expectation and demand” that the channel be reopened.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said American and Israeli forces had achieved a “capital V military victory” and that the Iranian military no longer posed a significant threat to U.S. forces or the region. The Iranian military said the country forced Israel and the U.S. to accept its “proposed conditions and surrender.”

Much about the agreement was unclear as the sides presented vastly different visions of the terms.
