Strait of Hormuz's New Frontier: Iran's Exclusion Zone Plan The Middle East is abuzz with the latest development from Tehran: a plan to establish an "exclusion zone" outside the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at vessels it believes are attempting to transit the waterway.
This move marks another escalation in a decades long conflict that has left the region in shambles. The exclusion zone would theoretically run from the U. S.
naval blockade line through the Strait of Hormuz and into the Persian Gulf, designed to prevent what Iran sees as "hostile" vessels from passing through its waters.
