Iran's newly-created Persian Gulf Strait Authority on Wednesday released a map of what it claims is its "controlled maritime zone" in the Strait of Hormuz.

Axar.az informs that this information was released by the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) on its official X account.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has defined the supervisory zone for the management of the Strait of Hormuz as follows: from the line connecting Kuh-e Mobarak in Iran and southern Fujairah in the UAE at the eastern entrance of the strait, to the line connecting the end of Qeshm Island in Iran and Umm Al Quwain in the UAE at the western entrance of the strait,” the statement reads.
