Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again and says its negotiating team with US is heading to Switzerland

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s government has dealt two quick blows to its interim agreement with the United States. The Strait of Hormuz has closed again, and negotiators are heading to Switzerland, but not much might occur there. Iran’s joint military command cited Israeli attacks in Lebanon and U.S. “bad faith” as reasons for the strait’s closure. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson signaled that little might happen until Iran feels the U.S. is living up to the deal. Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed at least 16 people, including two children, threatening the interim agreement.
