  "summary": "An Iranian parliamentary committee is reviewing a preliminary bill that would bar certain vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz. According to Fars news agency, cited by Al-Monitor and Middle East Eye, the bill targets \"hostile\" vessels, specifically those from the US and Israel.\n\nThe draft bill proposes fines of up to 20% of a ship's cargo value for violations of the restrictions. Both Al-Monitor and Middle East Eye report that the legislation is still under expert review.\n\nThe Iranian parliament has invited specialists to submit recommendations before the draft is finalised. The bill's progress was reported by a lawmaker, as cited by Fars news agency.",
