🇮🇷 IRGC NAVY says the area it considers the ‘Strait of Hormuz’ has expanded further:

“In the past we defined it as a limited area around islands like Hormuz or Hengam. But now, it has significantly expanded – from the coasts of Jask and Siri to beyond the major islands.”

The map below was issued by the IRCG Navy last week, showing the area between the yellow lines as what is under its control.

Considering the mentions of Siri Island (circled on the left) and Jask port (circled, right), that suggests a now much bigger area.
