Hassan Kashkawi, spokesman for the Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee, stated that the proposed bill concerning the security of the Strait of Hormuz will take precedence over any conflicting laws. According to the bill, vessels belonging to non-hostile states must obtain permission from the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. Vessels belonging to Israel and hostile states, as well as those conducting military operations against Iran or transporting military goods, will not be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
