  "account": "Iran’s parliament has approved a provision that would allow the country to charge vessels from authorized nations for using the strategic Strait of Hormuz, as the United States escalates economic pressure on Tehran. Newly appointed Supreme National Security Council secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, issued a warning to Gulf countries against supporting Washington’s campaign, threatening that Tehran would block oil exports from the Persian Gulf if they did. The proposal, part of a proposed “Strategic Action Plan to Ensure the Security and Development of the Strait of Hormuz,” must still be approved by the full parliament and Guardian Council, but it underscores Iran’s greater control over the waterway where shipping has already been disrupted.",
