OUTLETS DISAGREE
The terminology for the announced zone: 'restricted zone' vs. 'exclusion zone' vs. 'prohibited zone'
Iran announced plans to establish a restricted or exclusion zone near the Strait of Hormuz following escalating military tensions with the United States. The announcement came after the U.S. struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Iran launching ballistic missiles at U.S. warships, which experts described as a dangerous escalation in an ongoing conflict over control of the strategic waterway.
