Mohammad Akbarzadeh, the IRGC Navy\u2019s deputy director for political affairs, told local media that the strait was once limited to zones around a few islands, but that perception has changed. He said the strait has become a much broader operational area, expanding from roughly 20\u201330 miles to about 200\u2013300 miles. The area Akbarzadeh described is larger than the vessel control line the IRGC established on the 4th. #Iran #war #StraitOfHormuz #IRGC Yonhap News TV \u2014 tips and inquiries: KakaoTalk\/LINE jebo23
