Iran has reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, reversing its earlier decision to reopen the critical waterway, and accused the United States of violating a ceasefire. Iran swiftly reversed course on Saturday after the US said it would not end its blockade of Iran-linked shipping.
Iran’s joint military command said that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.” It warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the US blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.
