Iran's parliament approves closure of Hormuz Strait after US strikes on nuclear sites
The Iranian parliament has approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz to naval traffic following US strikes on three nuclear facilities, a senior lawmaker said on Sunday.
“The parliament has reached the conclusion that the Strait of Hormuz should be closed,” Major General Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of the parliament’s National Security Commission, said in statements carried by the state-run Press TV.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered the world's most important gateway for oil transport.
