"The Strait of Hormuz will never return to its previous state, especially for the US and Israel".

This was stated in a statement on social media by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy regarding the Strait of Hormuz, quoted by "Al Jazeera".

He added that he was in the final stages of operational preparation for what Iranian authorities described as a "new order" for the Persian Gulf.

The statement came days after an Iranian parliamentary committee approved a bill to impose transit fees on ships passing through the key waterway.

According to Iranian media reports, the proposal includes transit fees to be paid in Iran's national currency, a transit ban for the United States and Israel, and restrictions on countries participating in unilateral sanctions against Iran.

The plan also includes provisions related to Iran's sovereignty over the strait, the powers of its armed forces, maritime security, environmental issues, and legal cooperation with Oman.
