ANALYSIS
Daily News Egypt reveals Iran is considering legislation placing the Strait of Hormuz formally under Iranian armed forces authority, with transit fees mandatorily paid in Iranian rials—a proposal that would radically reshape global maritime commerce. Egypt Independent covers the diplomatic angle: Araghchi indicated during his Oman visit that 'agreements have been concluded' with Muscat on Hormuz, both countries being Strait riparians. Domestically, the Madbouly government lifted mandatory shop closure rules and launched a solar energy initiative as part of crisis management for conflict economic fallout. Egypt finds itself in a delicate position: the Suez Canal, a crucial revenue source, suffers directly from maritime disruptions in the Red Sea linked to the war.
