Strait of Hormuz: Trump’s Deal Doesn’t Bind Us, Israel’s Ben Gvir Criticizes US‑Iran Accord

Israel’s far‑right national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, criticised the United States‑Iran agreement aimed at ending the conflict in West Asia, including the situation in Lebanon.

Ben Gvir made the remarks on his Telegram channel on Monday, stating that Israel is not bound by the deal.

“Trump’s agreement does not bind us; we are not party to this agreement. It does not safeguard our security,” Ben Gvir said.

“We must not settle for anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah,” he added.

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a deal had been reached to end the war and “reopen the Strait of Hormuz.” The preliminary pact lowered oil prices but leaves Tehran’s nuclear program to be addressed in future talks.

Additionally, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed in a televised interview that the memorandum between Tehran and Washington had been finalized.
