🚨 BREAKING: Iran re-closes Strait of Hormuz, shattering fragile ceasefire 🚨

Iran’s top military command, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, has officially announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping traffic.
The drastic move comes just days after the critical economic waterway briefly reopened following a freshly brokered US-Iran peace framework.

🔴 The Catalyst: Ceasefire Collapses in Lebanon
The Deal: The US announced that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to a fresh, conditional ceasefire on Friday.
The Violation: Hours after the truce, severe Israeli airstrikes pounded southern Lebanon, killing at least 16 people, including two children.
The Defense: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed they were responding to Hezbollah launching over 50 projectiles at their soldiers overnight.

🔒 Iran's Retaliation

Tehran labeled the renewed strikes a "blatant breach" of the newly signed Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy issued a strict warning to all global maritime vessels: "Do not approach the Strait of Hormuz; otherwise, your security will be jeopardized."

🌎 Global Implications

Energy Markets: The Strait is a vital choke point handling roughly 20-25% of global seaborne oil trade; a prolonged blockade threatens immediate spikes in global energy prices.
Diplomacy Stalled: The closure heavily clouds upcoming technical talks in Switzerland between US officials, including Vice President JD Vance, and Iranian diplomats.
Crude oil could see a big pump on Monday, so be careful about opening short positions.
