The Lebanon strikes claim is real — Israel did launch its largest coordinated wave of attacks on April 8, killing at least 254 people. But the Strait of Hormuz claim oversells it: Iran isn't closing the strait afresh. It's been selectively blocking Western-allied shipping since February while allowing ships from China, Russia, India, and others through. The real story is Iran threatening to *escalate* the blockade if Israeli strikes on Lebanon continue.
