Iran has prepared a mechanism to manage traffic through the Strait of Hormuz along a designated route that will be unveiled soon, the head of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, Ebrahim Azizi<\/a>, said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In a post on X\/Twitter, Azizi stated that the mechanism was created in an effort to ensure \u201cthe guarantee of international trade security.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that only commercial vessels<\/a> and parties cooperating with Iran\u2019s leadership will be allowed to benefit from the new process.<\/p>\n

Azizi explained that the mechanism would provide \u201cspecialized services\u201d for which fees would be charged to any vessels that transit the strait under the new plan.<\/p>\n

He also noted that \u201cthis route will remain closed to the operators of the so\u2011called \u2018freedom project,\u2019\u201d in reference to the US\u2019s Project Freedom, a now paused operation<\/a> to guide vessels through the strait.<\/p>\n

On Monday, US President Donald Trump told Fox News that he was considering renewing Project Freedom<\/a> after having halted it on May 6, citing \u201cgreat progress\u201d in US-Iran peace negotiations as the reason for the pause.<\/p>\n

The renewed project, Trump stated, would expand beyond escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. He noted, however, that no final decision regarding the matter has been made.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s leadership has continually spoken out against the US operating to reopen and secure the safety of the Strait.<\/p>\n

On May 3, Azizi decried the US efforts as ceasefire violations, asserting that \u201cany American interference in the new maritime regime of the Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire\u201d in a post on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

He decried the US efforts as \u201cBlame Game scenarios,\u201d adding that \u201cthe Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump’s delusional posts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has prepared a mechanism to manage traffic through the Strait of Hormuz along a designated route that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":646983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,236558,801,209820,198306,3,226774,210369,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-646982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-hormuz","tag-iran","tag-islamic-regime","tag-islamic-republic","tag-news","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=646982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/646982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/646983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=646982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=646982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=646982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
