Iran has halted tanker movement through the Strait of Hormuz and warned it may withdraw from its ceasefire with the United States if Israeli strikes on Lebanon continue, reported by Fars News and Reuters.
Shipping sources said vessels have been notified that the critical waterway remains closed, raising concerns over global energy supply.
According to the report, Iranian officials signaled that limited passage could resume during the two-week ceasefire, but a full reopening depends on the outcome of negotiations with Washington. Around 3,000 ships are currently waiting to transit the strait.

A senior U.S. official said Iran’s publicly released 10-point proposal does not reflect the framework agreed upon with the White House. The report said key differences include Iran’s stance on sanctions relief, uranium enrichment and control of the strait.
The developments underscore the fragile nature of the ceasefire, with regional tensions, particularly in Lebanon, threatening to derail ongoing diplomatic efforts.
