NewzAn Iranian parliamentary committee is currently reviewing a preliminary draft bill that proposes barring United States, Israeli, and other designated "hostile" vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The existence of this legislative review was reported by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global chokepoint for international oil shipments and maritime trade. The proposed legislation targets nations and entities that Iran's government categorizes as hostile, specifically naming the US and Israel, though further details regarding the enforcement or final status of the bill have not yet been established.
