Iran Shuts Strait of Hormuz Again Over Israel's Attacks on Lebanon
Times of India·Saturday, 20 June 2026
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again, citing Israel's attacks on Lebanon that killed over 20 people as a breach of trust. The closure came even as US-Iran negotiators were expected to meet in Switzerland to continue peace talks. US Vice President JD Vance said he was confident the ceasefire could hold and stated there was no evidence Iran was closing the strait.
Why It Matters
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most critical oil shipping routes, and its closure directly threatens global energy prices and India's oil imports.
