Desk: Iran’s parliament has drafted a 12-point bill to control the Strait of Hormuz. Once approved by parliament, Iran will be able to legally control the Strait of Hormuz. This draft has been prepared at a time when the US is attempting to reach an agreement with Iran. Its implementation will most likely harm Israel and its neighboring countries, including Greece, the UAE, and Somaliland.
According to Mehr News, Iran has drafted a proposal that claims the Strait of Hormuz as its own territory. This proposal states that ships from countries that have harmed the US in the war will not be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Israel’s allies will have to seek permission from Iran’s Supreme Council to sail their ships.
The proposal states that if a ship violates any regulations while passing through the Strait of Hormuz, it will be immediately seized. The ship will then be taken to an Iranian port, where 20 percent of its cargo will be offloaded as customs duty. After this, the ship will be allowed to proceed to its destination.
According to Iranian MP Mohammad Reza Rezayee Kouchi, ships will have to pay a toll in Iranian rials to pass through the Hormuz. The amount will be determined based on the ship. When asked which countries he considers his enemies, Kouchi replied, “Those countries that don’t spell the Persian Gulf correctly.”
The new draft drafted by the Iranian government states that ships passing close to the Oman border will not be charged any tolls. However, this route is difficult for ships to navigate because the Persian Gulf along the Oman coast is shallow and shallow. Furthermore, Iran does not charge any tolls from ships from countries it considers friendly. For example, ships from countries like India and China are exempt from tolls.
