An IRGC spokesman said a restricted maritime area running from Chabahar into parts of the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea would be announced, with exact coordinates to follow, and that any ship passing through it would be sanctioned.

Why it matters

Extending Iran's claimed controls beyond Hormuz toward the Pakistan border would put the approaches used by ships bypassing the strait under threat.
