Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said on Sunday that a restricted zone will be announced in the coming days “outside” the Strait of Hormuz, in comments carried by Iranian state media.
“We’re making changes,” Rezaei said. “In the coming days and weeks, we’re going to announce a restricted prohibited zone outside the Strait of Hormuz, which begins from the blockade line of the U.S. Navy, including the Strait Of Hormuz, and extends to the Persian Gulf from the other side.”
Few details were given on the plan, but Rezaei said any ship that enters the zone “with the intention of crossing the Strait of Hormuz” will be put on a sanctions list.
