Summary

  • Iran’s parliament is reviewing a proposed Iran-Oman agreement that would bar US and Israeli ships from the Strait of Hormuz and require compensation from hostile countries before passage.
  • Fars said the draft also bans Israel-related cargo and sets fees for services including insurance and environmental costs, outlining how Tehran would manage any reopening of the waterway.
  • The proposal has become central to expectations for restarting traffic through Hormuz, where energy flows have remained constrained since US and Israeli attacks on Iran in February.
