Iran Orders Closure of Strait of Hormuz Over Alleged Ceasefire Violations

Iran on Saturday announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing alleged violations of a recently signed ceasefire memorandum with the United States and continued Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon. Tehran described the move as an initial response to what it called a breach of trust, warning of further measures if the situation persists. The development has raised concerns over regional stability and maritime trade through one of the world's most strategically important waterways.
