Iran parliament weighs ban on US, Israel-linked ships plus Hormuz tolls

2026-08-06 · policy

Iran's parliament was reported to be reviewing a plan to ban ships linked to the US, Israel and other hostile countries from the strait until Tehran is compensated for war damage, impose tolls of up to 7 percent of cargo value on other commercial vessels, and fine violators 20 percent of cargo value. The Trump administration rejected any impediments to transit; parliament's national security committee approved the bill days later.
