Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz After Israeli Strikes on Beirut Shatter Ceasefire
April 9, 2026
Israel launched over 100 airstrikes across Lebanon, including Beirut, in what has been described as one of the most intense attacks of the war.
The strikes have caused mass casualties, with early reports indicating over 100 killed and hundreds injured.
At the same time, a major dispute has emerged over the ceasefire:
•Iran and mediators say Lebanon was included
•Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu say it was not
Following the strikes, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil routes, directly linking the move to Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.
The closure has raised fears of a global energy crisis, as the strait carries a significant portion of the world’s oil supply.
A fragile ceasefire now hangs by a thread—while the region moves closer to wider escalation.
