Iran has ended its indirect dialogue with the United States via intermediaries, as reported by the Tasnim news agency. The move is a protest against Israel’s intensified attacks on Lebanon.

Tehran also declared its intention to restrict passage through the Strait of Hormuz and to "activate other directions," including the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. These are critical maritime chokepoints for global oil and trade flows. No additional details on the timing or scope of the restrictions were provided.
