Iran Suspends U.S. Talks And Threatens Full Hormuz Blockade After Israeli Strikes In Lebanon

Iran has threatened to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate disruptions around the Bab El Mandeb Strait in response to Israeli military operations in Lebanon and Gaza, suspending indirect nuclear talks with the US. If enacted, these measures would severely disrupt global energy and shipping flows through two of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.

This structural disruption could permanently reduce traffic through the strait even after any potential conflict resolution, mirroring the unrecovered Red Sea flows following the US-Houthi deal.
