The Strait of Hormuz just got much bigger in Iran’s eyes. Here’s what its new map reveals.

Iran publishes a map claiming "armed forces oversight" across more than 22,000 sq km of the waterway.

A spokesperson for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also warned that any vessel violating Iran’s rules in the strait would be “stopped by force”.

The delineated zone runs from a western boundary drawn between Iran's Qeshm Island and the UAE's Umm al Quwain, and extends eastward to a line connecting Iran's Mount Mobarak with Fujairah in the UAE.
