Iranian parliamentary committee reviews draft bill to bar US, Israeli ships from Hormuz, Fars says

-

Aug ‌6 (Reuters) - An Iranian ​parliamentary committee is reviewing ⁠a preliminary bill that would bar U.S., ​Israeli and other "hostile" vessels ‌from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's semi-official ⁠Fars news ⁠agency reported, citing a lawmaker.

The draft bill would impose fines ‌of up to 20% ⁠of a ‌ship's cargo value ​for violations of the proposed restrictions.

The ‌lawmaker said the ​legislation ⁠was still under expert ‌review and ⁠that parliament had invited specialists to submit ​recommendations before ‌the draft is finalised.
