The Iranian Armed Forces stated that they are closing the strait due to alleged US violations of the ceasefire memorandum and due to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

They also added that this is the "first step" and that if aggression against the country and Lebanon continues, there will be "next steps" against the US and Israel.
