Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire violations

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the US and Israel of violating the newly-signed peace deal. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared the closure a 'first step' in response to breaches of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Donald Trump. The US military denies the closure, stating that traffic continues to flow and they are monitoring the situation. The move comes amid ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon and Gaza, which have killed civilians despite ceasefire claims. In Lebanon, Israeli attacks killed 16 people, with Hezbollah reportedly firing over 50 projectiles at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon overnight. In Gaza, an Israeli strike killed at least five Palestinians, including two children, despite assertions of a ceasefire. The death toll in Gaza since the purported ceasefire has surpassed 1,000. The US vice president JD Vance is expected to join talks in Switzerland to negotiate a deal limiting Iran's nuclear capabilities. The situation remains tense with multiple violations reported on both sides. The US president Donald Trump has urged Israel to accept the peace terms, while insisting on a 'good' relationship with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The fragile ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza appear increasingly precarious as violations continue.
