摘要

Tehran—Iran could collect tolls from tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz under a draft bill on closing the strategic waterway that has so far won the support of 150 of parliament’s 290 members, students’ news agency ISNA reported July 20. “In the Strait of Hormuz motion, we want that 3% of the price of each barrel of oil based on the day prices be put in the Islamic republic’s treasury in accordance with the international norms,” ISNA quoted Javad Karimi- Ghodousi, a member of the parliamentary national security and foreign policy committee, as saying.
