IRGC declares prohibited shipping zone near Strait of Hormuz
Interfax·IR·1 day ago

This rhetoric, while not new, escalates pressure on Oman and Gulf states amid ongoing tensions. The statement's ambiguity—whether it implies a military exclusion zone or a diplomatic claim—remains unclear, but it underscores Iran's assertive posture in the strait.
