On April 25, according to a report by Iran's Mehr News Agency, Iranian Islamic Parliament member Behnam Saidi stated that Iran has developed a comprehensive plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Mehr News Agency, Saidi mentioned that an important aspect of this plan is the exclusive recognition of the name 'Persian Gulf' in all correspondence and commercial documents, rejecting any other names. Vessels and ships navigating in the region must obtain permission from Iran. Sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz will be entirely under Iran's control. He also stated that vessels identified as hostile by the Supreme National Security Council or the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran are not allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Israeli vessels are absolutely prohibited from entering the area. Ships passing through the region must pay relevant fees concerning safety, environmental protection, shipping management, and licensing, with priority given to payments in rials.
