Talks between the United States and Iran have stalled as clashes between Hezbollah and Israel threaten efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's military command announced it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again, citing Israeli strikes on Lebanon and a breach of promises. The move comes as U.S.-Iran talks stall and Hezbollah and Israel exchange attacks. Multiple outlets reported the closure, though U.S. Vice President Vance denied it.
The next beat is whether shipping through the strait is physically halted or if the closure remains a threat. Any further Israeli-Hezbollah clashes or a diplomatic push from the U.S. could determine if the standoff escalates or de-escalates.
