NEW: Iran Moves To Close Strait Of Hormuz Just Hours After Deal Announcement

Iran’s military announced Saturday that it had reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz and returned the waterway to its previous state of strict control. The decision followed Iran’s brief announcement the previous day that the strait would be open to commercial shipping during the current ceasefire period. Iranian officials stated that the reversal was prompted by what they described as repeated breaches of trust by the United States, specifically the continuation of the US naval blockade of Iranian ports. The reimposition occurred hours after initial reports of the strait reopening on April 17. According to shipping sources and Iranian statements, Iranian gunboats fired on at least one tanker attempting to pass through the area, and some vessels were observed reversing course. I
