The two-week ‘ceasefire’ announced by US President Donald Trump has been thrown into uncertainty just hours after it took effect. Tehran has once again closed oil tanker traffic in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in protest at Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.
\nThe Iranian media Fars News reported this on Wednesday (April 8). The report said that although two oil tankers were able to pass through the strait with Iran’s permission this morning, their passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently closed.
\nIn fact, the continuation of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is an important condition of the ceasefire between Iran and the United States. In an emergency phone call with Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel of ‘violating the ceasefire’. Tehran has warned that it will completely withdraw from the peace agreement and take countermeasures if the attacks on Lebanon do not stop.
\nMeanwhile, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire agreement signed between Israel, the United States and Iran. However, the Israeli military rejected Shahbaz Sharif’s claim and made it clear that its attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon would continue.
\nIt is worth noting that just hours earlier, in the face of Donald Trump’s ultimatum, Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz, which slightly reduced the skyrocketing price of oil on the world market. However, the re-closure of the strait has created new instability in the global economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
