Iran affairs commentator Nati Tovian weighed in on the IRGC's decision to re-close the Strait of Hormuz, describing the move as an act of 'audacity' and comparing it to squeezing a lemon. The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint in recent weeks, with the IRGC previously closing the waterway and threatening further closures. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC formally closed the Strait in June, citing U.S. and Israeli violations in Lebanon. Tovian's remarks add to the commentary on the ongoing maritime tensions.
