Iran approved a ban on US and Israeli ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Consensus
- The Iranian Parliament's national security committee unanimously approved legislation restricting passage through the Strait of Hormuz for ships belonging to the US, Israel, and other countries deemed hostile by Iran.
- The proposed law includes restrictions on goods linked to Israel and prohibits passage for countries or individuals who have caused damage to Iran until compensation is paid.
- Penalties for violating the law include fines up to 20% of the cargo's value.
- Iran and Oman have agreed on geographic coordinates for a new commercial shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Technical, legal, safety, and environmental aspects of the new route have been reviewed by Iranian authorities.
- The size of service fees for passage through the Strait will depend on the volume of services provided.
