US, Iran hold talks in Switzerland while Strait of Hormuz remains shut

Center-leaning outlets reported Iran's claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz as a direct response to Israeli military operations in Lebanon, treating the closure as established fact and highlighting Iran's warning that negotiation progress required ending the fighting.

Conservative-leaning outlets led with U.S. officials' rejection of Iran's closure claims, foregrounding skepticism about Iran's assertions rather than treating them as factually established.
