Iran’s parliament approves draft resolution to close Strait of Hormuz

TEHRAN, June 22 (YPA) – Iran’s parliament has approved a draft resolution to close the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic, according to Iranian media outlets.

This conditional escalation is still awaiting approval from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, which has the final authority to make the decision on this sensitive matter.

In a related development, Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted official Iranian sources as confirming that there was “no danger” to the nuclear facilities affected by the strikes, noting that sensitive sites remained safe and had not suffered significant damage.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important maritime passageways, with a significant portion of global oil exports passing through it. Any decision to close it would knowingly disrupt global energy markets and heighten geopolitical tensions in the region.
