“Reporting from Tehran, FRANCE 24's correspondent Reza Sayah explains that "the arena has shifted from Iran, from the Gulf States, from Israel to the Persian Gulf, to the Strait of Hormuz"”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes the statement to Reza Sayah reporting from FRANCE 24. While the web search results discuss the Strait of Hormuz being a point of focus and conflict between Iran and the US, none of the provided evidence directly quote or corroborate Reza Sayah making the specific statement about the 'arena' shifting from Iran, Gulf States, and Israel to the Strait of Hormuz. The evidence confirms the Strait of Hormuz is a current point of tension, but not the specific quote.
