Iran Plans Restricted Zone Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Rising US-Iran Tensions
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei announced plans to establish a new restricted maritime zone near the Strait of Hormuz, extending from the US naval blockade line into the Persian Gulf. Tehran warned that vessels entering this area without coordination could face sanctions. Rezaei linked the Strait's openness to US military actions, stating it will remain open only if the US stops threatening or attacking Iran. The announcement follows recent US strikes on Iranian oil tankers and escalating tensions in the region.
