Iran says Hormuz remains closed until full Lebanon ceasefire achieved - Fars
Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, cited an informed source as saying that the Islamic Republic rules out negotiations with Washington and keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed until a full ceasefire is established in Lebanon.
“One of the operational options on the table is keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed. According to data and field monitoring, it has been clear since this morning that this strategic maritime route remains closed, and this situation will continue until a full ceasefire with Lebanon is achieved," the source was quoted as saying.
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly dropped since the start of the Iran war. On April 7, only five ships crossed the strait, according to MarineTraffic data.
