Iran says it plans to announce a new ‘exclusion zone’ near the Strait of Hormuz
Tehran said ships entering the area and identified as transit attempts will be added to its sanctions list as fighting with the United States resumes.
- On Sunday, Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, announced an "exclusion zone" near the Strait of Hormuz targeting vessels Tehran believes are attempting to transit the waterway.
- Fighting resumed last week between the United States and Iran following the collapse of a mid-June memorandum of understanding, ending a month of relative calm.
- The United States military deployed over 20 warships supporting a blockade that redirected 92 commercial ships and disabled three as of Sunday, while Energy Secretary Chris Wright reported 9 million barrels of oil flow through the strait daily.
- Rezaei expressed distrust of mediators Pakistan, Qatar, and Oman, claiming they failed to stop agreement violations, as Tehran now pursues "diplomacy with guarantees."
- The Trump administration maintains a dual-prong approach, combining military responses to strait attacks with financial pressure on institutions handling Iranian funds, while Iran continues circumventing sanctions.
