VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While the evidence discusses the conflict between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran, there is no specific confirmation of a promise by Iran to 'close' (presumably referring to the Strait of Hormuz) in response to further attacks; one source actually mentions the US denying a claim that Iran closed the Strait.
