Strait of Hormuz won't reopen 'until Lebanon ceasefire holds and oil waivers issued'

Strait of Hormuz won't reopen 'until Lebanon ceasefire holds and oil waivers issued' Iran's Tasnim news agency, citing a source close to Tehran's negotiating team, reported on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would not be reopened as long as a ceasefire in Lebanon was not respected. The source said the waterway would also remain closed until waivers allowing the sale of Iranian oil were issued. Iran announced that it had once again closed the strait a day earlier over Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. A fifth of the world’s crude oil and liquefied natural gas passes through the vital waterway, which Iran had effectively closed for nearly four months after Israel and the US began the war in late February. It was briefly reopened after US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a preliminary agreement earlier this week to halt hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.
