What Happened
The White House demanded Iran immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran reportedly closed it following Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon. Iran agreed to reopen the strategic waterway. President Trump expects the strait to remain open and warned Iran of accountability if access is restricted. The strait handles nearly 20% of global oil and natural gas. Iranian state media claimed the closure was retaliation against Israeli strikes violating ceasefire terms.
