Shortly after, another senior Iranian lawmaker, Ebrahim Azizi, said there was "no alternative" but to recognise "the new Iranian order in the Strait of Hormuz".
Security in the vital Gulf shipping route has been one of the most intractable issues to resolve in US-Iran ceasefire talks, with both sides having differing interpretations of who should have access to it and how.
Under the US-Iran memorandum of understanding of 17 June, Iran agreed to use its "best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days".
But it has since demanded ships coordinate with Iran when passing through, and warned that attempts to cross the strait along a route designated by the UN's International Maritime Organization (IMO) were "unacceptable and completely dangerous".
