Iran parliament advances Strait of Hormuz shipping fees
Iran's parliament has moved forward a draft law that would charge foreign ships for passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply. The move comes as the US ramps up sanctions and Trump warns of crushing economic measures against Tehran. If enacted, the fees would escalate tensions with both Western nations and Gulf states that depend on the strait.
