Iranian officials said that the Strait of Hormuz will not allow ships from hostile countries to pass. All vessels must reach an agreement with Iran and accept inspections. The U.S. side said that Iran has agreed to allow 20 oil tankers to pass, and expects further additions, stressing that the two countries are holding negotiations. The Iranian parliament also passed a management measure, making it clear that ships from some countries are prohibited from passing through the strait.

Al Jazeera reported on the 30th, citing an Iranian official, that so far there have been no ships that have transported cargo to hostile countries through the Strait of Hormuz, and that there will be none in the future either. The official said that all ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz must reach an agreement with Iran, and that ship documents need to undergo careful review.

Earlier that day, at a press briefing, White House press secretary Leavitt said that Iran has currently agreed to 20 oil tankers transiting through the Strait of Hormuz. “We expect to announce an additional 20 oil tankers in the coming days,” he said, adding that “this is the result of direct and indirect negotiations underway between the U.S. and Iran.” Leavitt also urged Iran to reach an agreement with the United States as soon as possible, saying that Trump has set April 6 as the final deadline for Iran to reach an agreement with the U.S.

According to Iranian media outlets such as the Tasnim News Agency, reporting on the 30th, Iran’s Islamic parliament’s National Security Committee approved a plan for managing the Strait of Hormuz, established the role of Iran’s armed forces in oversight, and clearly prohibited ships from the United States, Israel, and countries that impose unilateral sanctions on Iran from passing through the strait.
