Member of the Iranian Parliament Esmaeil Kowsari told the press on Sunday that the lawmakers voted in favor of closing the Strait of Hormuz for traffic in response to the United States and Israel’s recent attacks on the country’s territory. In order to become official, the decision must be approved by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The strait is considered a significant route for oil transport. Previously, US officials such as Vice President JD Vance and State Secretary Marco Rubio warned Iran against the closing of Hormuz, with the latter describing it as an “economic suicide.”Meanwhile, local media reported that the Majlis also voted in favor of resuming the country’s nuclear program.
