Iran's proposed "forbidden zone" outside Hormuz
The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran confirmed that Iran intends to declare a prohibited zone in the Gulf waters extending from the scope of the US naval blockade outside the Strait of Hormuz. Any ship entering this zone will be listed on sanctions lists, with an understanding reached with Oman regarding a safe navigation route. Radai denied that the strait is open for maritime traffic, stating that the number of ships passing through has significantly decreased, and that Iran will not reopen the strait until American escalation against it ceases. This came alongside a noticeable decline in ship traffic through the strait, with only two ships crossing on certain days, while the US Energy Secretary confirmed that oil continues to flow through the strait at over 9 million barrels per day.
