Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Iranian state media reports

Israel had rarely struck central Beirut since the outbreak of the latest Israel-Hezbollah war on March 2 but has regularly struck southern and eastern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

@mhoye I can’t get my head around this.

The ceasefire was explicitly stated to include Lebanon but from what I saw, Israel had immediately insisted, unilaterally, that Lebanon was not included.

But what did they expect to happen? Iran to just agree ‘okay sure yeah Lebanon doesn’t count’? Iran holds all the cards here, quite obviously.

I just can’t comprehend the lack of recognition of consequences for their actions. Arrogance?

@mhoye I'm shocked! Well, mildy aghast. To be totally honest, kinda unphazed
