Iran plans Hormuz exclusion zone after US strikes three oil tankers

Iran has announced plans to establish an exclusion zone in the Strait of Hormuz following US strikes on three oil tankers. The move comes as tensions escalate in the strategic waterway, a critical route for global oil shipments.

The exclusion zone proposal reflects Iran's response to the US military action against the vessels. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world's most important chokepoints for energy supplies, with millions of barrels of oil passing through daily.
