Iranian lawmakers propose bill to manage Strait of Hormuz amid US tensions

Iranian lawmakers introduced a bill to manage the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route, as tensions with the United States escalate. The move could further destabilize regional security and global energy markets, given that a fifth of the world's oil passes through the strait. This legislative action signals Iran's intent to assert control over the waterway in response to heightened US military presence and threats.
