Iran Plans Restricted Zone Near Strait of Hormuz Linked to US Military Posture
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 parts of the Persian Gulf. Tehran warned that vessels entering this area without coordination could face sanctions. Rezaei linked the Strait's openness to the US ceasing threats and attacks against Iran. Additionally, Iran and Oman are expected to announce a new shipping corridor through the Strait, with Iran managing entry and exit points amid ongoing regional tensions and recent military exchanges.
