Iranian MP: Iran Has Formed a Comprehensive Plan for Managing the Strait of Hormuz

According to a report by Iran's Mehr News Agency on the 25th, Iranian Parliament member Behnam Saeedi stated that Iran has developed a comprehensive plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Mehr News Agency, Saeedi said a key component of the plan is to only recognize the name "Persian Gulf" in all correspondence and commercial documents, rejecting any other names. Ships and vessels navigating in the region must obtain permission from Iran. The sovereignty of the Strait of Hormuz will be entirely in Iran's hands. He also stated that vessels identified as belonging to hostile countries by Iran's Supreme National Security Council or the General Staff of the Armed Forces will not be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Israeli vessels are absolutely prohibited from transiting the area. Vessels passing through the region must pay relevant fees for security, environmental protection, maritime management, and licensing, with priority given to payment in Rials. (Xinhua News Agency)
