Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 0 tied to no party.
Iran's parliament formally introduced a bill on the 'security and sustainable progress' of the Strait of Hormuz at an unannounced session on the night of 13 July, said Ebrahim Azizi, head of its national security committee, Al Jazeera reported. The text was not published; a May draft carried by state media would have barred US and Israeli-flagged and 'hostile' vessels and required permits and fees. Iran's rial slid to about 1.85 million to the dollar on 14 July.
