Iran is preparing a new mechanism to manage maritime traffic through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, with preferential access for commercial vessels and countries cooperating with Tehran, according to remarks by Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee reported by Reuters.
The Iranian official said Tehran had prepared a designated route management system for traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and that details of the mechanism would be unveiled soon.
“In this process, only commercial vessels and parties cooperating with Iran will benefit from it,” the official said, according to Reuters.
Iran also said “necessary fees” would be charged for specialised services provided under the proposed mechanism.
The official added that the route would remain closed to operators linked to what he described as the “Freedom Project”.
