Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Over Agreement Dispute

Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz after its parliament speaker issued a statement declaring the end of one-sided agreements. The speaker said the era of one-sided deals is over and that parties must keep their word or pay the price.

The statement came directly after the closure and repeated earlier warnings about consequences for broken commitments. "The era of one-sided deals is over. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking," the speaker said.

Background on the Warning Iran's top negotiator had previously stated that the era of one-sided agreements is over and that parties should keep their word or face consequences. The remarks framed the closure as a response to unmet commitments rather than an isolated action. The statement did not specify which agreements prompted the decision or name any foreign parties.
