"Strait of Hormuz has grown larger," says IRGC as Iran redefines waterway as 500-km operational zone

According to Press TV, Rear Admiral Akbarzadeh reiterated on Tuesday that the operational scope of the waterway has been entirely redefined. He emphasised that the previously narrow definition of the strait as a 'limited area around islands such as Hormuz and Hengam' is no longer applicable to Iran's current naval strategy.
