Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has declared that the Strait of Hormuz has been "significantly expanded", with the force now defining the waterway as a massive strategic corridor reaching from the shores of Jask and Sirik to regions past Qeshm Island and Greater Tunb Island.

Mohammad Akbarzadeh, the political deputy of the IRGC Navy, informed Tasnim News Agency that the Islamic Republic has fundamentally reimagined the boundaries of this critical maritime gateway.
