    Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again; cites U.S. 'breaches of trust'

    Iran announced it was re-closing the Strait of Hormuz to most traffic, blaming the United States for 'breaches of trust' — specifically, the U.S. refusal to lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports as a condition of the ceasefire. The closure reversed the brief partial opening announced April 17 and directly imperiled the fragile truce.

    Iran announced the strait was again closed to most traffic, blaming the U.S. refusal to lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports as a 'breach of trust.'
