BREAKING NEWS: Iran again announces closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
(NLDO) - Tehran has announced it will continue its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and will not participate in the planned nuclear talks with the US in Switzerland.
Người Lao Động•19/06/2026In a statement broadcast on maritime communication channels, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that the United States has not fully fulfilled its commitments in the memorandum signed by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on June 18.
According to the IRGC, Israel's failure to withdraw from Lebanon, the incomplete lifting of the naval blockade, and the continued presence of US troops in the Gulf do not meet the key conditions of the agreement.

Therefore, Tehran insists that the Strait of Hormuz will remain blockaded until these demands are met.
The IRGC also warned all vessels not to enter the area for safety reasons, stating that any vessel ignoring the directive could become a target of attack.
