Iran lawmaker frames Hormuz transit-fee plan as historic as oil nationalization
The head of Iran’s parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said a proposed bill on managing the Strait of Hormuz would cover transit rules and what he called the rights of the Iranian nation.
Ebrahim Azizi said the plan, formally described as a bill for the security, development and progress of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, would be a “complete and comprehensive” law if passed by parliament.
He compared the initiative to the nationalization of Iran’s oil industry, calling it a lasting measure.
