Iran's Revolutionary Guards have unveiled a new map delineating the area of the Strait of Hormuz under their military control. This area stretches from the boundary between Qeshm Island in Iran and Umm al Quwain in the United Arab Emirates, extending eastward to a line connecting Mount Mobarak in Iran to Fujairah in the UAE. A spokesperson for the Guards issued a stern warning that any ship violating Iran's regulations would be met with force, reflecting Tehran's heightened assertiveness in this critical oil corridor. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions with the United States, where President Donald Trump has proposed assistance for vessels stranded in the strait, claiming they have been deprived of essential supplies for over two months. Trump stated that the U.S. would guide these ships safely through the waterway. In response, Iran's military has firmly rejected U.S. involvement, insisting that navigation in the strait must be coordinated with its forces. The U.S. Central Command has indicated it would support this effort with a deployment of 15,000 troops and additional military resources. Iran's unified military command has warned that any U.S. presence would provoke a forceful reaction, emphasizing that the security of the Strait of Hormuz is under their control. The ongoing standoff has left numerous vessels and crew members stranded, raising concerns about maritime safety and the stability of global energy supplies.
