The Ceasefire Broke Itself and Iran Re-Closed Hormuz to Prove It
A ceasefire that exempts Lebanon is not a ceasefire — it is a permission slip, and Iran just revoked the permit.
The news. The narrative. The timeline.

A ceasefire that exempts Lebanon is not a ceasefire — it is a permission slip, and Iran just revoked the permit.
254 dead and 1,165 wounded — the worst single day of the Lebanon war happened while Hezbollah was honoring a ceasefire.
Hezbollah stopped firing under the ceasefire while Israel killed 250 in Lebanon the same day — one side complied, the other was never asked to.
Iran says the ceasefire text covers Lebanon; the White House and Israel say it does not.
The ceasefire's first day brought confusion over Hormuz, continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, and mutual accusations of violations.
