Hours after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, Tehran on Thursday closed the Strait of Hormuz again in response to Israeli attacks against the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, news agency AP reported.



On Wednesday, Iran agreed to re-open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks after the US announced a ceasefire with Iran, with talks scheduled to take place in Islamabad on Friday.
