The Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee has passed a management plan for the Strait of Hormuz, establishing the controlling role of the Iranian armed forces and explicitly prohibiting ships from the United States, Israel, and countries that have imposed unilateral sanctions on Iran from passing through the strait.
The plan also covers shipping security, environmental protection, financial arrangements and customs systems, as well as cooperation within a legal framework with Oman on the opposite side of the strait.
On the other hand, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated on the 30th that the United States will never allow Iran to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz or establish a toll system.
In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," he said that the U.S. aims to achieve its military objectives against Iran in weeks, not months. He stated: "He (U.S. President Trump) prefers a diplomatic path. These (negotiation) efforts are still in their infancy. Some talks are underway, including through intermediaries."
He said: "But we must also be prepared for the possibility that these (negotiation) efforts may fail. Iran is issuing threats to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz and establish a toll system, etc. This will never be allowed to happen."
Additionally, in an interview broadcast on Al Jazeera on the 30th, Rubio pointed out that if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz after the war ends, it will face serious consequences.
He said that once the U.S. military action in Iran ends, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened no matter what, "either with Iran’s consent to restore navigation or through reopening by an international military coalition including the United States."
