Who has ‘the key’? Lock on Hormuz Strait stays for now as Iran wants Lebanon truce too

Who has ‘the key’? Lock on Hormuz Strait stays for now as Iran wants Lebanon truce too

The “key” has become a running metaphor for Iranian official handles on social media as the country continues to use its lock on the Strait of Hormuz as leverage against the US and Israel, and demands that attacks on Lebanon also be stopped as part of truce struck earlier in the week. Lebanon truce is Iran’s demand (Images: X/@ShirinLady; NASA Earth Observatory/AFP) “The key is in Lebanon’s hands,” the Iranian embassy in Bulgaria posted on X on April 9, Thursday, a day after the two-week temporary ceasefire was reached. Israel insists that its parallel war in Lebanon — where hundreds of civilians have been killed as Israel says it’s attacking Iran-backed militia Hezbollah — is not part of the truce. Iran differs; its officials have said a ceasefire in Lebanon is a key condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the oil route through which a fifth of global supplies are shipped usually. Before the conflict, over 100 ships passed through the strait each day — many carrying oil to Asia. With the ceasefire in …

Israel targets Hezbollah in Beirut: Why is it attacking Lebanon amid conflict with Iran? | World News

The Middle East is inching toward its most dangerous moment in the last few decades. Israel and US have launched a joint offensive against Iran. Tehran, in turn, is targeting Iran and US military bases in neighbouring countries. Nations of the world are divided on who’s wright and who’s wrong. At the same time, Israel has turned its attention towards Lebanon and is hammering capital Beirut with airstrikes again — this time, it’s not just about Hezbollah’s weapons. On Monday, Israel said it was launching a full campaign against the Hezbollah. It’s the direct fallout of the far bigger conflict: the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend. Here’s how we got here, and why it matters.

IDF’s secret war plan revealed: Bibi prepares massive strike on Hezbollah as 12,000 troops mobilized

Published on Nov 11, 2025 09:28 pm IST Israel is ramping up military preparations amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah along the Lebanese border. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced plans to recruit 12,000 new soldiers, including 7,000 for combat units, as reports indicate Hezbollah is rebuilding its arsenal of rockets and anti-tank missiles. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Lebanon that continued Hezbollah activity would invite stronger Israeli retaliation, accusing Beirut’s leadership of delaying disarmament efforts. Israeli airstrikes have intensified in southern Lebanon despite last year’s truce, which had demanded Hezbollah’s demilitarization. Intelligence reports suggest the group is restocking weapons and reestablishing command networks. Katz declared that Israel would “not allow a threat to the residents of the north,” signaling potential large-scale operations if Hezbollah’s buildup continues.
