IRGC Navy expands its declared Strait of Hormuz operational zone

Iran's IRGC Navy claims it has redefined the Strait of Hormuz from a narrow chokepoint to a much wider 200–300 mile strategic zone (Jask to Siri Island). This is a doctrinal/operational reframing that could justify broader interdiction, mining, and strike activity over a larger maritime area, complicating escort and counter-interdiction planning.
