Iran has drafted a management plan for the Strait of Hormuz that would ban vessels from the United States, Israel, and other 'hostile' parties. According to a report by Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency cited by Xinhua, the proposal also includes blocking cargo linked to Israel or operations against the Iran-aligned 'Axis of Resistance.' Violators would face fines up to 20% of their cargo's value, and states that have caused Iran damage would be denied passage until compensation is paid.
