Iran to Announce New Restricted Zone in Gulf Within Days
⚓ HORMUZ — A new restricted zone announcement is coming; the timing is the signal. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Iran already declared a restricted maritime zone September 6. A second announcement days later suggests Tehran is expanding scope or codifying enforcement rules — neither is routine. With OPEC+ frozen, SPR at 1983 lows, and bunker fuel already scarce, each new zone narrows the corridor insurers will cover. Freight rates spike before the first ship is stopped.
