Summary

Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, has announced that Tehran will declare a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days, also revealing a new shipping route agreed upon with Oman for the waterway. No specific details about the announcement are provided.

This warning was made by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who stated that any new attacks would elicit a "heavier and more painful response".
