Analysis Summary
Iran's military announced Saturday that it has closed the Strait of Hormuz, citing Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon overnight as a violation of the interim U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal signed earlier in the week. The move escalates tensions ahead of scheduled technical talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Switzerland on Sunday, though the U.S. disputed whether the waterway is actually shut. The closure threatens global oil shipping and underscore growing frustration on both sides over Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon despite the agreement.
