[Iran will declare a restricted area in the Strait of Hormuz] September 7th, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Rezai said on the evening of September 6, local time, that in the next few days, Iran will declare a "forbidden area" in the Strait of Hormuz area. The "forbidden area" will start from the U.S. Navy blockade line and extend to some waters in the Persian Gulf. Any ship entering the "no-go zone" will be placed on Iran's sanctions list. Rezaei said Iran could detect U.S. ships and sink them. Iran did not sink American ships because they were carrying oil and would damage the environment if sunk. Rezaei also announced that an agreement between Iran and Oman on the ship traffic map in the Strait of Hormuz "will be signed in the coming days." (CCTV International News)
