The Prohibited Zone Is Still Unmapped

TL;DR

Malay Mail and Al Jazeera filed Rezaei's coming zone on the 7th; Sunday still has no coordinates.

MSM Perspective

Al Jazeera asked whether Tehran can enforce a line it has not drawn. Sunday does not draw it.

X Perspective

War feeds treat an unmapped zone as a closed strait.

Mohsen Rezaei said Iran would declare a prohibited zone near Hormuz in coming days, starting from the U.S. Navy's blockade line. [1] This paper printed the still-blank map on the 7th, with Al Jazeera asking whether Tehran can enforce a line it has not drawn. [2] Sunday's Oman table is still a table. Coming remains the tense. Announced-as-coming is not enforced. No start date, no coordinates, no boarding mechanism appear in Sunday copy. Print blank. Do not print a closure. No Salalah delay belongs on this clock.

A postponed ministerial is Monday's hour. Sunday recap that treats a blank chart as a closed strait is a feed, not Malay Mail.
No coordinates are in Sunday's zone copy, so blank remains the chart word.
This edition will not invent a polygon to fill a quiet Sunday.
Sunday is not a published annex.
Coming remains the only honest tense.
