World News Today Live Updates: Iran says will declare ‘prohibited zone’ near Hormuz strait in coming days

Iran is preparing to declare a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz, according to state media, in response to recent attacks by the US. The new zone will start from the current US Navy blockade line, and any ship entering it will be added to Iran's sanctions list. This comes after a sharp exchange of attacks between the US and Iran, with the US hitting Iranian oil tankers and Iran retaliating against US warships in the Gulf.

Additionally, in the US, an Amazon-branded cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport, killing at least five people.
