        "summary": "Iran's parliament is advancing a strategic action plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf, designating the armed forces' general staff as the authority to restrict enemy and Israel-affiliated vessels from transiting the strait, while mandating payments in Iranian rials and compensation from adversarial nations. The plan, comprising nearly 11 articles, follows directives from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and includes special accounts set up by the Central Bank to collect fees from passing ships. This move tightens Iran's control over the vital waterway amid recent joint attacks by Israel and the US, a failed peace negotiation in Pakistan, and a US naval blockade targeting Iranian shipping.",
        "content": "<p>Tehran (ANTARA) - The head of Iran\u2019s Parliamentary National Security\nand Foreign Policy Committee, Ebrahim Azizi, said on Monday (27\/4) that\nunder the draft parliamentary plan, the general staff of Iran\u2019s armed\nforces would be the authority responsible for taking action in the\nStrait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Azizi made the statement in an interview with the state television\nstation, IRIB TV, while explaining the articles in the final draft of\nthe \u201cStrategic Action Plan to Ensure Security and Progress in the Strait\nof Hormuz and the Gulf\u201d, which will be submitted for a vote by Iran\u2019s\nlegislative body.<\/p>\n<p>Azizi said the plan consists of nearly 11 articles and aims to\nrestrict the passage of enemy ships through the strait. He added that\nthe plan absolutely prohibits all ships affiliated with Israel from\ncrossing the waterway route.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the plan, it is estimated that the financial proceeds\nobtained from the Strait of Hormuz will be in Iran\u2019s currency, namely\nthe rial,\u201d said Azizi.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that all parties, the government, and countries that have\ncaused losses and damage to Iran, frozen Iran\u2019s assets, or carried out\nhostile actions against Iran in recent years must pay compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Azizi said Iran\u2019s armed forces have fully and intelligently\ncontrolled the strait based on orders received from higher echelons of\npower in Iran\u2019s government structure. He emphasised that this\nparliamentary plan was drafted based on steps proposed by Iran\u2019s Supreme\nLeader Mojtaba Khamenei, who stressed the need for the implementation of\nnew management over the strait.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate statement, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the same\nparliamentary committee, said the plan will soon be enacted into law\n(UU) after Iran\u2019s parliament reconvenes, and the law will be submitted\nto the government for implementation, according to IRIB.<\/p>\n<p>Boroujerdi said Iran\u2019s Central Bank has opened four special accounts\nin rial, yuan, US dollar, and euro currencies to store the levies\nreceived by the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)\nfrom ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with\napplicable directives.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has tightened its grip on the Strait of Hormuz following joint\nattacks launched by Israel and the United States against Iran on 28\nFebruary. The United States has also imposed a naval blockade targeting\nships heading to and from Iran, after peace negotiations between the two\nparties in Islamabad, Pakistan, failed.<\/p>",
