Iran’s Parliament has 290 members. Iran’s parliament, the Islamic Consultative Assembly (or Majlis), is a unicameral legislature consisting of 290 MPs directly elected by the public for four-year terms. The body is currently heavily dominated by conservative and hardline factions, following elections.
The Iran's parliament has been actively involved in tensions with the U.S., and has therefore officially introduced legislation regarding the management and potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's IRGC Navy commander warns if U.S. resumes its naval blockade, Iran will shut down all exports and imports across the Persian Gulf, Sea of Oman, and Red Sea.
The warning comes after Donald Trump and CENTCOM's announcement of reimposing naval blockade on Iran.
"The powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic will not allow any exports or imports to continue in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Red Sea," the commander stated.

On the Hormuz toll fee, Trump said: "I have decided to withdraw the transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz following discussions with countries in the region in exchange for investments."
