  "summary": "Iran has announced that it will declare a new restricted zone in the Gulf in the coming days. According to Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, the zone will start from where the US blockade of Iran begins and extend into areas of the Gulf.\n\nIran will also unveil maps of a new shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement comes after a weekend of strikes on shipping, which caused oil prices to rise on Monday.\n\nIran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson warned that any military participation or presence by South Korea in operations in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz would be seen as support for US \"aggression\" and would have serious consequences, according to The Korea Times.",
