Iran Seeks Legislation to Charge Toll for Vessels Passing Through the Strait of Hormuz

BlockBeats News, March 26, local time. In the early hours of the morning, the Chairman of the Civil Affairs Committee of the Iranian Islamic Consultative Assembly stated, "We are seeking a bill that can legally protect Iran's sovereignty, dominance, and regulatory authority over the Strait of Hormuz, and generate revenue for the country through toll collection."

It is reported that the draft of the bill has been formulated but has not yet reached the stage of a complete proposal. It will be submitted to the Parliamentary Research Center next week for refinement with the participation of the legal team. The proposal will be submitted after the parliament convenes and will be followed up. According to the bill, Iran will impose a toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV)
