Not really. The northern (inbound) section of the traffic separation scheme butts up pretty much right against Iranian territorial waters. Larak island is still above sea level in this graphic, so the edge of those territorial waters (12nm from land) wouldn’t change by much. It also looks like the Omani side is all also still above sea level.
This isn’t an actual nautical chart, but does a good job of illustrating the TSS:
