Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz

Israel isn’t signing a peace agreement with Iran.  In fact it seems that Trump left Israel out of his negotiations while downplaying Hezbollah attacks on Israel.  Of course Hezbollah is 100% funded by Iran and Iran demanded in their peace deal that America’s allies (Israel) had to cease military strikes in Lebanon.  Why in the world would Israel give up its right of defense against death-cult terrorists launching missiles into Israel?

So when Israel continued its operations against Hezbollah, Iran said it was a broken peace deal and closed the Strait of Hormuz.

This could be the issue that permanently dents the special relationship that America and Israel has.

This shouldn’t surprise Bible readers because Israel is going to be all alone when the Muslims and Russians of Ezekiel 38 attempt to destroy Israel and are themselves destroyed by God.

 • Strait closure: Iran says it is closing the vital Strait of Hormuz in response to what it described as Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon and a failure by the US to implement the first clause of a tentative agreement to end the war.

• US-Iran talks: Meanwhile, Tehran said it is sending a delegation to talks in Switzerland. US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will also attend the talks in the coming days as mediators try to keep negotiations on track and reach a lasting peace deal within a 60-day timeframe laid out by the agreement.

• Lebanon strikes: Persistent fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah has been threatening the diplomatic process. At least 16 people were killed today in renewed Israeli airstrikes on southern Leb
