]]> Iran has reportedly shut down the Strait of Hormuz once again, citing the continued presence of United States forces in the region and Israel’s failure to withdraw troops from southern Lebanon.

According to a report by the New York Post, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) accused Washington of breaching the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17 by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

In a statement, the IRGC said that key conditions of the agreement—including Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, the complete removal of the naval blockade, and the withdrawal of US forces from the Persian Gulf and surrounding region—had not been fulfilled.

The group stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed until those conditions are met and warned vessels against approaching the strategic waterway, saying any ship that disregards the directive could be targeted.

The development has raised concerns over regional security and the potential impact on global oil and shipping markets.
