Parliament of Iran

The Parliament of Iran, also known as the Majlis, is the unicameral legislative body of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is responsible for enacting laws, approving treaties, and overseeing the government's actions. Recent news highlights the Parliament's involvement in addressing regional tensions and potential conflicts. Specifically, the Parliament is considering a bill to impose tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital waterway for global oil transport. Furthermore, the Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has accused the United States of secretly planning a ground offensive in the region and has warned against potential attempts by enemies to occupy Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf with the support of a regional state. These developments underscore the Parliament's role in shaping Iran's response to perceived threats and its active participation in regional security discussions.
