Iran parliament committee clears Strait of Hormuz security bill

Says Hormuz reopening impossible until Tehran's conditions are met

Iran's parliament has still not voted on the bill that would write its Strait of Hormuz rules into law, and no date is set. On October 29, the Revolutionary Guard said three tankers caught fire after hitting mines in the strait; Iran's armed forces put the number at four. US Central Command denied that commercial ships were hitting mines in the main transit lanes.
