Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage for global energy supplies, following Israeli military strikes in Lebanon. This decision comes less than 24 hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, which included an agreement to reopen the strait. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for the U.S. ceasefire but emphasized that it does not apply to Lebanon, where Israel continues military operations against Hezbollah, resulting in 112 deaths and 837 injuries. Trump has backed Israel's actions, stating that Hezbollah was not part of the ceasefire agreement. This ongoing conflict raises significant concerns about the stability of the region and the potential impact on global energy supplies.
