Iran Declares Maritime Exclusion Zone | Dubai News

Iran’s security chief Rezaei escalates tensions with the U.S., warning of economic warfare and a new maritime exclusion zone in the Persian Gulf, as Tehran claims to have fired an advanced missile at U.S. warships—ships that say they dodged the attack. This follows months of rising hostilities, including U.S. strikes on Iranian tankers, and Iran’s vow to blacklist any vessel entering its new restricted zone. Despite crippling sanctions and U.S. pressure, Iran continues to flex its missile and drone power, targeting oil shipments and bases near U.S. allies. Former President Trump predicts a post-war plunge in gas prices, but key U.S. goals—ending Iran’s nuclear program and stopping regional attacks—remain unmet. With shipping through the Strait of Hormuz sharply down and Israeli strikes in Lebanon adding fuel to the fire, the region teeters on the brink of deeper conflict.
