Iran just closed the Strait of Hormuz AGAIN after accusing Trump of violating the ceasefire agreement.
In breaking news from the UK, Iran’s state media announced moments ago that the Strait of Hormuz – the critical waterway through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil passes that has become the centerpiece of Trump’s illegal Iran war – is now closed once again.
Iran claims the United States failed to live up to its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. Earlier, both sides had agreed to allow a limited number of ships to pass through the strait, but that deal has now completely broken down.
The Iranians wanted full access for all vessels, including their own oil tankers. The Trump administration had been blocking many of those ships out of fear that Iran would use the money from oil sales to fund weapons and further conflict.
Trump didn’t want the Iranians to make money shaking down ships wanting to pass through the Strait without him being in on the action, so he flipped the board on the diplomatic game as usual.
Now Iran is saying “no more” and has shut down transit through the vital transit point for shipping.
