The Iranian Parliament approved measures to close the Strait of Hormuz following recent Israeli operations in Lebanon. The National Security and Foreign Policy Commission spokesperson demanded immediate halt of all ship passage through the strategic waterway.
Parliament stated Lebanon sacrificed lives supporting Iran and must not be left alone. Lawmakers rejected partial ceasefire arrangements, declaring “ceasefire either on all fronts or on no fronts.” The statement called for a “heavy and decisive strike” against Israeli operations described as “savage Zionist aggression.”
The National Security Commission linked Hormuz closure directly to Lebanese displacement exceeding one million people. Iran’s parliament positioned the waterway action within broader regional resistance framework including Gaza developments.
This parliamentary position challenges the US-Iran two-week ceasefire requiring Hormuz reopening after American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared military victory while stating forces would remain “hanging around” post-operations.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned the Strait won’t return to pre-war status. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council holds final implementation authority despite legislative approval.
The waterway handles 20% of global oil transit. Iran maintains selective passage allowing non-US ships while blocking western naval presence.
Lawmakers demanded comprehensive de-escalation across Gaza, Lebanon simultaneously per resistance axis coordination. The parliamentary communique followed Iran’s UN Geneva ambassador statement affirming military preparedness despite US truce talks.
This development coincides with Saudi East-West pipeline attack that triggered 3.2% Brent crude spike. Global markets monitor Iranian legislative signals alongside regional energy infrastructure recovery efforts.
