Iran's Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has completed its review of a strategic bill aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz and promoting sustainable development in the waterway and the wider Persian Gulf, according to the commission's spokesperson, as reported by Iran's state news agency IRNA.
The spokesperson's announcement, made on Sunday, did not detail the specific provisions contained in the bill or when it might be brought before the full Parliament for a vote.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping corridor through which a significant share of the world's seaborne oil trade passes, making its security a recurring focus of Iranian policy given the waterway's economic and strategic importance.
The legislative review comes against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions involving Iran, its neighbors and Western powers, in which the strait has repeatedly been referenced as a potential flashpoint.
IRNA's report did not indicate a timeline for further parliamentary action on the bill.
