Iran has reportedly closed the crucial Strait of Hormuz in response to attacks by Israel on Lebanon, state media reported on Wednesday.

The move comes on the same day a two-week ceasefire between Tehran and Washington came into force, ending more than a month of fighting.

The Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said that while two oil tankers passed through the strait with permission from Iran earlier on Wednesday, traffic has now been stopped.

One of the major points in the ceasefire agreement was that Iran would allow the resumption of shipping through Hormuz, easing a disruption in the flow of oil and gas which has sent prices soaring around the world.

Both US President Donald Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the ceasefire agreement did not include Lebanon, claims denied by mediator Pakistan.

"Aggression towards Lebanon is aggression towards Iran," General Seyed Majid Mousavi, aerospace commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, wrote in a post on X.

He warned that Iranian forces were preparing a "heavy response" without revealing details.

The fresh violence has already threatened to scuttle what US Vice President JD Vance called a "fragile" deal.

Lebanon's health ministry said that at least 112 people had been killed and 837 others wounded in a wave of air strikes launched by Israel.

Israel's military called it the largest coordinated strike in the current war, striking more than 100 Hezbollah targets within 10 minutes in Beirut, southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa valley.

"The Israeli enemy's airstrikes on numerous Lebanese areas, reaching the capital Beirut, have led, in an updated non-final toll, to 112 martyrs and 837 wounded," the ministry said in a statement.

Israel's military said it had targeted missile launchers, command centres and intelligence infrastructure and accused Hezbollah of using civilians as human shields.

"The State of Lebanon and its civilians must refuse Hezbollah's entrenchment in civilian areas and its weapons build-up capabilities," the military said in a statement.

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

Before the wave of new strikes, a Hezbollah official told the Associated Press news agency that the group was giving a chance for mediators to secure a ceasefire in Lebanon, but "we have not announced our adherence to the ceasefire since the Israelis are not adhering to it."

Both-siding NONSENSICAL statements like this is how the US ended up with a PDFile in the White House.

How can you RECONCILE reality with this your submission?

One side is in their country, minding their business.
The other side left their COUNTRY, left their CONTINENT and ASSASSINATED their leaders.
BOMBED 150+ of their children in school.

BOMBED their hospitals and universities.
BOMBED their bridges and museums.

YET you say both sides are EQUALLY GUILTY.

That is MADNESS!

Minding which useless business?.
So someone is chanting "death to America", "death to Israel", that same country is sponsoring terrorists to attack Israel and USA allies and you're saying they are minding their business?? Are you okay I don't blame you na, islamist mentality.
The way Hamas take collect is the way Iran collected their own too.

Hezbollah must be taught a big lesson.
Iran wants to have their cake and eat it too.
It doesn't work that way.They(Hezbollah)will be given the hamas treatment

Haha, USA went for their oil and always want a puppet regime. That is the issue. US always want a regime they can control. That is where the prohblem starts

These Iran want to be totally obliterated.

USA should grant them their wish.

Suffer not a terrorist to live

Iran just like to be in the news.

Open the strait or US will open it and open your existence for vultures

Why can't isreal maintain total peace for once even for 2 weeks.

Iran should be greatful that trump is showing some leniency because of the persian Christians living in Iran and they are Pro America . If not, Iran for collect wotoporiosly last night .

MrEar:
The world wants peace but Gods chosen people want war.

Because the leaders of the world evil must be stopped this time around.

You settled with US and not ISRAEL. Please open that Strait of Hormuz. Go and settle your matter with Israel differently.

Using children to shield🛡️ against US threat attack was one of the most heartless thing i have ever seen in my life.

Iran is not ready for any peace at all!

They've learnt the art of war by force ..
Iran will always dance to the tune of trump and Israel.

America and Israel are the real terrorist of the world.

Lol! When the checkmate go happen. I no wan hear cry ooh

Well done Iran. Oya, Nigeria’s Christians, go and open the Strait. So Iran just dey open and close am like those small doors wey dey for village houses

This guys should just be wiped off the face of the earth.
It's funny that they claim they were winning the war, but they blocked access to Internet. I heard from someone inside Iran, and the propaganda their Goverment share is superior to the lies of Nigerian politicians. In their dreams, they claim Israel is no more.

Why dont you allow them to access the Internet, so they can come online to rejoice at your great victory?

Last I checked, Straight of Hormuz is international waters. It never belonged to Iran. They need to be taught more permanent lessons.

Trump and the Pentagon can never trust Iran.

Iran also can never trust Trump.

I am sorry Iran don't have the cards currently.

Iran is the global hub (the powerhouse) and source of instigation for Hamas, Hezbollah, Houtis, Isis etc. That's the spirit driving there.

Even you will notice that when the terrorists in Nigeria recently felt like Iran is defeating or scattering Trump, they started killing and kidnapping with intensity everywhere. It was only yesterday and today that they paused becoz they are awaiting the fate of Iran.

If Iran had just 20% of the kind of power that the USA posseses, truth is, the whole world by now would have been bowing down to Allah Akbar by fire by force.

Truth is, if IRGC think they can fustrate Trump or a ceasefire, US will not attack the civil Iranians surely, but their economy, insfastructure and millitary will cry poverty extremely within the next few decades.

At this point, I will say even Venezuellans are wiser than Iranians.

Dangote will increase fuel price tomorrow.

After you have been wiped

Hezbollah was warned not to get involved

Normal level, Iran mind go de, make everybody no worry

Once you buy market from either Isaac or Ishmael, you go collect wot wot 😂

IDF won't take any stand down on Hezbollah a.k.a axis of evil/resistance 🤷🏿.

It seems some people Brain was used to drink garri during their early birth?

Iran is holding the whole world into ransom and I think they are now more powerful than before.
