Iran is considering legislation that would ban ships from Israel and other states it deems hostile from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report from TASS.
Under the proposed rules, vessels from other, non-hostile states would be required to obtain special transit permits from the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces in order to pass through the strait.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most strategically important waterways, serving as a key route for global oil and gas shipments.
Any formal restriction on shipping through the strait would likely draw close attention from international shipping and energy markets, given the volume of trade that passes through the passage.
It remains unclear when the proposed legislation might be considered or adopted, or how enforcement of any such restrictions would work in practice.
