Despite a US-Iran ceasefire, Israel launched an assault on Lebanon, causing the death toll to exceed 200. In response to the Israeli attacks, Iran announced it would again close the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran accused the US of direct responsibility for Israeli strikes in Lebanon, claiming Washington promised Lebanon would be covered by the ceasefire.
