Iran Hormuz plan bans U.S., Israeli ships

Iran’s draft plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would ban vessels from “hostile” states, including the U.S. and Israel, implying restricted passage through the key chokepoint. A U.S. official warns CNBC that any temporary passages must remain unimpeded for all countries. The potential for constrained shipping and energy-price disruption raises near-term geopolitical and supply-chain risk.
