Iran has not yet released the precise coordinates of the new zone, which are expected to be announced later.The IRGC spokesman warned ships against entering the designated waters without first coordinating their passage.Vessels that enter the restricted area without prior coordination could face punitive measures, Mohibi said, including denial of services associated with maritime navigation.The announcement expands Iran’s restrictions on maritime activity beyond the Strait of Hormuz as tensions remain high around the waterway. Iran did not provide a date for when the precise boundaries of the newly designated zone would be released.The post Iran demands release of $24 billion, no interference in nuclear program, as conditions to end war appeared first on World Israel News.
