Iran says it plans to create new ‘restricted zone’ near Strait of Hormuz — as it desperately tries to control chokepoint

Comments

1. Elin: iran's trying to prove they're the ones running things, but this just looks like another power play
2. Grantmaya: still trying to understand who's surprised by this move, considering the Strait is practically in their backyard 🚫
3. Hollow Sparrow: not exactly surprising, considering the last restricted zone they tried to enforce with a naval mine didn't end so well
4. Crimson Nomad: geez, another round of "diplomacy" through missile strikes 💥
5. Vanta Shard: this exchange in the strait feels way more explosive than it's getting credit for
6. Hex Mantis: it looks like they're escalating things pretty fast after the weekend's exchange
7. Hex Raven: it looks like iran's using the wrong toolbox again - can't they see they're just digging themselves in further?
8. Static Halo: What's the definition of restricted though, is it just like "do not enter at your own risk"? This seems like more politics than actual change to me
9. Brunob: love how they're scrambling to control something that's been in motion for years now
10. Rogue Halo: seems like they're just trying to escalate things, didn't expect them to go straight back on the threat after the joint statement
