Israel and Hezbollah Keep Fighting Despite Ceasefire — Iran Threatens Oil Route Closure
BBC News·Saturday, 20 June 2026
Iran said Israel's continued strikes in Lebanon broke its agreement with the US to end the war, and announced it had closed the Strait of Hormuz. At least 20 people were reportedly killed in Israeli air strikes, while Hezbollah fired at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon. US-Iran technical talks were called off on June 19 but were set to resume in Geneva on June 21.
Why It Matters
The Strait of Hormuz carries a huge share of the world's oil exports, and any closure immediately pressures global energy markets and supply chains.
