Security and political committees in the Iranian parliament have begun reviewing a plan aimed at imposing what it termed "strategic management" on the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical waterways. The plan includes provisions to regulate the transit of ships and impose a new legal framework encompassing mechanisms for levying fees in exchange for maritime and security services. According to parliamentary sources, these moves aim to enhance Iranian strategic influence and cover the costs of protecting navigation, amid regional and international anticipation of the plan's repercussions on the security and safety of global trade and energy supplies in the region.
