{"title":"Iran plans to tighten Strait of Hormuz transit
rules","content":"Iranian parliament is reviewing a draft bill, Fars News
reported, that would tighten controls on passage through the Strait of Hormuz
and the Persian Gulf. Key measures would ban passage of vessels linked to the
United States, Israel and other hostile states; restrict military and civilian
cargoes related to Israel; limit movements of ships tied to operations against
the "axis of resistance"; and deny transit to entities that owe compensation to
Iran. Violations would carry fines up to 20% of cargo value. The draft is under
review and has not been approved."}
