JAKARTA - The Iranian parliament has reportedly completed drafting a bill (RUU) to regulate traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, including restrictions on certain ships and sanctions for violators.
The bill, which is currently being reviewed by the Iranian Parliament's National Security Commission, is a separate initiative from talks with Oman on commercial shipping through the strait.
Based on the bill, ships from the US, Israel, and other countries considered hostile by Iran will be banned from crossing the waterway. According to Fars News, military or civilian cargo related to Israel as well as ships involved in actions against Iran and its proxy groups will also be banned from crossing the strait.
As reported by CNN, Friday, August 7, Fars said that ships associated with countries and individuals who are considered to have caused losses to Iran will also be prohibited from crossing the strait until compensation is paid.
Violations of this restriction will be subject to a fine of up to 20% of the value of the ship's cargo.
Member of Parliament Alireza Salimi said the bill is in the review stage by experts, and the parliament has invited specialists to provide recommendations before the bill is finalized.
Efforts to draft the bill were first announced in March by Iran's semi-official news agency, Tasnim News Agency. The following month, a draft was released targeting ships from countries considered hostile to Iran, with possible exceptions. The latest version of the bill expands the scope of the proposed restrictions to more ships and also includes cargo aspects.
