20.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Iran Shut the Strait of Hormuz
⌨
The day's dominant editorial focus was Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, directly linking it to Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon and US non-compliance with the bilateral memorandum. Hezbollah-aligned outlets framed the move as retaliation, while anti-Hezbollah sources reported over 100 Israeli airstrikes causing dozens of casualties in Nabatieh and the Bekaa, despite a ceasefire. By afternoon, Netanyahu ordered a halt to operations, though strikes continued. The battle for Ali al-Taher hill remained central, with Israeli losses acknowledged. The US-Iran technical talks were set for Switzerland the next day, overshadowed by the maritime escalation.
