Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Iranian parliamentary committee is reviewing a preliminary bill that would bar US, Israeli and other “hostile” vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reports, citing a lawmaker.
The draft bill would impose fines of up to 20 percent of a ship’s cargo value for violations of the proposed restrictions.
