Iran Plans New Crossing Rules Near Hormuz

The confrontation between Iran and the United States in the Strait of Hormuz is heading toward a new escalation, as Iran plans to declare a "prohibited zone" extending from the blockade line imposed by the U.S. Navy to outside the strait, including parts of the Gulf, in order to impose restrictions on vessel passage. This occurs amid the lowest levels of commercial ship traffic since May and an increase in attacks on oil tankers in the region, amidst military escalation and heightened financial and economic tensions between the two sides. Iran affirms that it will take tougher measures against ships entering the area, while the United States focuses on safeguarding freedom of navigation and ensuring the continuation of global oil flows.
