Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has unveiled a new map of the Strait of Hormuz, announcing that the area south of the line stretching between Jabal Mubarak in Iran and south of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the area west of the line linking the head of Iran’s Qeshm Island and Umm Al Quwain in the UAE, has come within the scope of control of the Iranian armed forces.
This announcement comes amid escalating military and political tensions in the Gulf, alongside Iranian messages stressing tighter military influence over one of the world’s most important strategic maritime passages.
