Rezaei says Iran will soon declare restricted zone near Hormuz

Rezaei said Iran will soon declare a restricted area around the Strait of Hormuz, and any ship entering it will be placed on Iran’s sanctions list. He added that ships will no longer be able to cross the strait without coordination with Iran, and said Iran’s tightening measures there will have a greater impact than missiles. He also said that 48 hours ago Iran tested, for the first time, an anti-ship missile over an American warship, calling it a hell for the Americans and saying it drove them to flee. AFP quoted an Iranian official as saying Tehran intends to announce a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days.
