Tyre (Lebanon), June 20: Iran on Saturday said it closed the Strait of Hormuz because of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon and warned that while negotiators were going to Switzerland for talks with the United States on their interim agreement, not much likely will happen if the fighting doesn’t stop.
Key mediator Pakistan said technical-level talks will begin Sunday, with Qatari mediators also participating.
Iran’s joint military command said the strait was closed because of the US “clear breach of its commitments” by failing to end the war. The interim deal is meant to stop fighting on all fronts. (AP)
