Iran parliament deputy says bill on Hormuz ship traffic will be passed
Hamidreza Haji-Babaei, deputy speaker of Iran’s parliament, said lawmakers have reviewed a plan to regulate ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and that a “powerful resolution” would be approved on the issue.
Haji-Babaei said the plan has “various dimensions,” without giving details of its provisions.
He also said Tehran had warned the United States and Israel that if their attacks on Lebanon did not end, Iran would respond and close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
