Iran has halted the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz over Israel’s strikes in Lebanon, the Fars news agency reports.

Fars reports that two oil tankers were allowed to pass through the strait this morning after the ceasefire between Iran and the US took effect.

“Simultaneous with Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz has been stopped,” the agency reports.
