Iran considers barring US- and Israeli-linked ships from Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s parliament is reviewing a plan that would bar ships linked to the United States, Israel and other countries Tehran regards as hostile from using the Strait of Hormuz until compensation is paid for war damage, according to Iranian state media. The proposal would allow other vessels to transit in return for a toll. The move comes as shipping through the strategic waterway remains disrupted by the regional conflict. US officials have disputed suggestions that unrestricted transit would involve approvals or charges.
