Hormuz Closure Claims, Middle East Tensions, and NATO Stability Dominate News

Iran reportedly broadcast messages to ships declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed to maritime traffic, contradicting its foreign minister's statement that it remained open, according to two vessel owners cited by Bloomberg. Separately, Israeli strikes in Lebanon reportedly killed four paramedics in what ambulance crews described as sequential 'triple-tap' attacks. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte dismissed speculation about a U.S. withdrawal from the alliance while urging Europe to increase defense spending.
