> Iran’s top security official says Tehran will establish a restricted zone around the Strait of Hormuz and parts of the Gulf, while announcing a maritime route agreed with Oman. Mohsen Rezaei says ships entering the zone will face Iran’s sanctions list. Analyst Alexandru Hudisteanu says the Oman deal is unlikely to materially change the situation while shipping remains worried about threats in the strait.
