Iran drafts bill to ban Israeli ships from transiting Hormuz
6 56424
The Iranian parliament is finalizing work on a draft law that will significantly tighten shipping regulations through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to a document prepared by the parliamentary Committee on Construction and Development, a complete ban on the passage of Israeli-linked vessels through the Strait of Hormuz will be imposed. Vessels from "hostile" countries (including those that support sanctions against Iran or have participated in actions against it) will not be allowed to use the strait without prior approval from Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Furthermore, countries that caused harm to Iran during the recent conflict will be denied passage until they pay reparations.
The bill also provides for mandatory tolls on the passage of ships, to be paid in Iranian rials. These measures are intended to compensate for the damage inflicted on Iran during the military operations.
According to Iranian Ambassador to Egypt Mojtaba Ferdowsi Pour, if Tehran does not receive reparations from the US and Israel, Iran will be forced to compensate for losses through tolls collected from ships passing through the strait.
That is, as soon as the aforementioned countries make compensation payments to Iran in Iranian national currency, Tehran undertakes to give the green light for commercial vessels associated with them to enter Hormuz.
The Persian Gulf, along with the Strait of Hormuz, remains one of the most sensitive regions of the global economy. Any restrictions on shipping there could lead to a sharp rise in oil prices and serious disruptions to global energy supplies. This has been on full display since March of this year. According to conservative estimates, the global economy has lost at least $200-220 billion due to the problems with the Strait of Hormuz. And no one can say how much more will be lost.
