Iranian officials and affiliated reporting have described tighter control measures in the Strait of Hormuz. Ali Nikzad said parliament will approve a Strait of Hormuz management law that would permanently ban Israeli ships, require vessels from what he described as “enemy countries” to pay war compensation, and mandate Iranian authorization for other ships. Separately, Tasnim reported that Iran announced a new “control zone” in the strait. The available reports do not clarify whether the “control zone” and the proposed law are the same measure or separate actions, and no detailed operational, geographic, or implementation information was provided.
