Iranian Supreme National Security Commission Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran plans to establish a new restricted “forbidden zone” stretching from what he described as the U.S. Navy’s blockade line toward the Strait of Hormuz, warning that ships entering the area intending to transit the waterway could be placed on a sanctions list. Rezaei also rejected claims that the strategic strait remains open to normal maritime traffic, saying daily ship movements had fallen from more than 100 to around seven or eight. He further claimed Iran had recently tested an anti-ship missile against a U.S. carrier, describing the result as a “real hell.” The comments come amid renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and escalating confrontation around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil-shipping route.
