Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee approved Article 3 of the draft 'Strategic Action' bill on the Strait of Hormuz, which would let Iran charge vessels from countries permitted to transit for navigation, environmental, fuel, insurance and security services, payable in rials or another currency Tehran designates, spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said.

The committee finished its review on 4 October and cleared the bill for a floor vote.
