Iranian state media is reporting that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have continued today.
Israel has said a ceasefire struck between the U.S. and Iran late yesterday doesn’t include its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, where it launched its largest co-ordinated strike in the war to date.The Lebanese Health Ministry said 112 people have been killed today.
Most stranded oil and gas tankers remained inside the Persian Gulf.

Iran also has fired missiles at Israel after announcing the ceasefire. That was before Israel ramped up the attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Trump also said Lebanon would not be included.
Let also remember that Hezbollah didn’t adhere to the previous ceasefire agreement, which included them withdrawing from the south and disarming. 80% of Lebanese want Hezbollah to disarm and stop attacking Israel all the time.
Let also remember that Hezbollah didn’t adhere to the previous ceasefire agreement
Do you really want to go that route? Has Israel ever honored a ceasefire agreement?
Hey take a load of this guy trying to make Trump and Israel be the honourable parties in this clurstefuck.
Israel should fuck off behind the 1967 borders and then we can talk about it being attacked. Trump should fuck off generally.
I don’t say Israel or the USA are acting well in this context. I’m just pointing out Iran and their puppets Hezbollah are pretty terrible.
At this point, frankly, they get to. That’s what happens when you put your opponent on death ground. Israel has been blowing up villages in southern Lebanon, and have made known their genocidal aspirations for it, which are to be treated as credible based on their actions in Gaza. They put the Lebanese Shias on death ground. Now they have to pay the price of that mistake.
Genocidal colony can’t follow the ceasefire for one single day before breaking it. Almost like their have their own “manifest destiny” towards east or something.
I think this is a good move by Iran. Maybe, just maybe, just maybe this might motivate the rest of the planet to also put pressure on Israel. Just for the record, the rest of the planet should not need any motivation to be putting pressure upon Israel and their genocidal activities
what i don’t understand is why the rest of the middle east puts up with them.
The Gulf monarchies are unsustainable as anything other than vassal states. If they play nice with the biggest bullies, they get paid handsomely and a small fraction of them can be rich beyond reason and fly around in luxury jets with their personal organ donors.
Except now Iran is calling the bluff of the big bully, demonstrating that America and Israel won’t protect them.
I don’t know the actual conversations but can anticipate that it’s simply the easiest thing to do, and as ever, we will each be under threat by the US, if we do not bend over for them
Agreed. They are the spoiled brat of the world that no one ever punishes or holds them accountable.
That’s the luxury of being a 5th generation holocaust survivor, I guess… Jezz.
But… but… holding them accountable would be antisemitic
/s
We should get rid off of this attitude. Israel is almost certainly the terrorist state. To stop this form of terrorism is not antisemitism. Israel is taking advantage of the fact that no one would ever want to be antisemitic, and they will scream that every time someone says that they should not do something bad.
Trump could get Israel to stop if he wanted to. The US provides a lot of military and economic aid to Israel.
No he couldn’t, since Israel has Epstein blackmail on Trump that he doesn’t want released.
plus the media wouldnt immediately start reporitng on “blanche replacing BONDI” and it would bring up even more question.
I mean, he still could and also accept the consequences of the blackmail being released, but he won’t. Not entirely sure what he’s afraid of at this point, it’s not like he’s faced real consequences for anything else up to this point, what could he have done worse than raping and killing kids. But I also doubt he’s really interested in ending the conflict diplomatically, he’ll just lie about who’s responsible for the ceasefire falling apart and use it to justify whatever atrocities they feel like.
its also billionaires and other world politicians that are in the files, that havnt been doxxed yet, thats who hes trying to protect, also too much attention to himself from the files, since hes in it so many times.
We barely even scratched the surface of the Epstein files. We don’t know what kind of demented shit is in there that’s worse than running a child sex trafficking ring for the elite, but there’s definitely worse in those files, otherwise they wouldn’t be redacting what’s already out there and not releasing the rest.
As we all know, there’s only one person Trump cares about, and he will do anything to protect what is left of his image in his dementia-riddled mind, even if it’s literally counter-productive, like bombing school children in Iran.
Death toll is higher than 300, injured over 1200. They’re pulling bodies and survivors still. This is worse than August 4 2020. And they’re still fucking bombing!
This is senseless, savage terrorism. I think I heard over a hundred thuds in Beirut during the first hour. What the fuck is wrong with these people
It sounds like you’re in the affected area. Please accept my well wishes if that is indeed the case. What’s happening right now is disgusting beyond words, and I appreciate you giving your perspective
I live where people run to for safety. This is supposed to be a normal safe part of Beirut. It’s quiet now and I’m fine but every year is an innovation in terrorism from this criminal entity.
Thank you for the well wishes.
Lasted longer than I thought it would. What a shit show.
It thought it would be over by time I started work at 12h UTC
Who needs Iran as their enemy when you have Israel as your „ally“.
Israel shouldnt exist.
Correct. Palestine should be fully reinstated, and all peoples, Gazans and Jews, should have equal status as citizens. One state solution.
It sickens me that more American politicians still think a two state solution is best.
Honestly if Israel spends their defensive weapons, I could see their enemies taking advantage and attacking.
I really love the bullshit “doesn’t Israel have the right to exist” question, as if they care about anyone’s right to exist, fuck off and cease existing yourself already Israel
I felt that way until i learned about the history and colonization of Israel. Most people in the U.S. don’t know that much about that region. They just see a supposed ally that occasionally gets attacked.
Schrödinger’s Strait.
Closing the Straight of Hormuz is ANTI SEMETIC!
-The BBC!
Jesus christ. Now the Big Black C*cks were dragged to this war too?!
I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.
Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.
Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.
Smart if so. Israel’s only been able to keep up its campaign of aggression because of US support (and I’m not just talking about this most recent war), and this seems like it could help drive a wedge between Israel and the US
