Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again Wednesday in response to Israeli attacks against the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon, casting doubt over whether an already precarious ceasefire to end more than a month of war will hold.
The United States and Iran both claimed victory after reaching the agreement, and world leaders expressed relief, even as more drones and missiles hit Iran and Gulf Arab countries.
Israel also intensified its attacks in Lebanon, hitting several commercial and residential areas in Beirut without warning. At least 112 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in one of the deadliest days in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war.
The fresh violence threatened to scuttle what Vice President JD Vance called a “fragile” deal.
“Aggression towards Lebanon is aggression towards Iran,” Gen. Seyed Majid Mousavi, aerospace commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, wrote on X. He warned that Iranian forces were preparing a “heavy response” without revealing details.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth said American and Israeli forces had achieved a “capital V military victory” and that the Iranian military no longer posed a significant threat to U.S. forces or the region. The Iranian military said the country forced Israel and the U.S. to accept its "proposed conditions and surrender.”
Much about the agreement was unclear as the sides presented vastly different visions of the terms.
--Iran said the deal would allow it to formalize its new practice of charging ships passing through the strait, a crucial transit lane for oil. But the details were not clear, nor was it known whether vessels would feel safe using the channel or whether ship traffic had resumed. It also was unclear whether any other country agreed to this condition.

Here we go again, just when gas stations were changing their fuel signs - “Hey Burt, stay up on that ladder for a bit”
Good one!
Didn’t these lying camel fornicators break the ceasefire just a bit after it went into effect?
LoL, lying mf’s, oh God how I loathe/hate them and their culture. Our politicians and press aren’t far behind.
The only way to win a war is with an unconditional surrender... Period! Anything else is a draw. Just ask the South Korean’s about that.
How is it that with all the bombing and all the US military might, Iran still has the capability of controlling the Strait of Hormuz?
Iran did not enter into any ceasefire agreement or treaty with Jerusalem.
And Iran had continued — after the USA/ irani temporary “ceasefire” was supposed to go into effect—- Iran has attacked, bombed Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar. Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
Prediction: the irani dictatorship will have its oil exports (Kharg island) taken within 24 to 48 hours. And free transit will be restored for all through the straight of Hormuz —— :
“Aggression towards Lebanon is aggression towards Iran,”
Then aggression from Lebanon is aggression from Iran, a-hole.
How is it that with all the bombing and all the US military might, Iran still has the capability of controlling the Strait of Hormuz?
Unleash on them so hard for about 48 hours and ask them again. But this time we shouldn’t be so nice. Make them publicly beg. Enough of these dirtbag thinking they can terrorize the world.
A public admission by the IRGC that Hezbollah was always an Iranian proxy.
Hope they have lots of candles.
At this point the next strikes should make Operation Linebacker II look like a block party.
Yours is the only question that matters at this point. The IRGC has the military capability to close the Straits of Hormuz…and nothing the U.S. or Israel has done has impacted that in any way. We’ve been fed plenty of bullshit about their navy being sunk…yet that matters not one bit. They are demonstrating more military capability now than they ever did before all this.
This isn’t what anyone ever imagined “victory” would look like.
Trump has no choice but to turn out their lights. Their fault.
Iran has an estimated 2,500 caves.
Because our people are overstating the degree to which Iran’s military has been destroyed
