Iran’s top joint military command has ordered that the Strait of Hormuz be closed in retaliation for what it claims is a “blatant breach” of the recently signed US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, according to Iranian semi-official state-sponsored media outlet Mehr on Saturday.
Iran’s military added that the closure is also in response to continued Israeli operations against Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.
According to Mehr, Iran’s military declared the closure of the strait as the “first step” in its response and stated that if the US and Israel continue to act in a manner it deems as breaching the agreement, “further steps will be planned and taken to force the enemy to fulfill its obligations.”
