Claim 1: “On August 9, the Iranian state broadcaster reported that the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission had approved a new bill on the management of the Strait of Hormuz.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result mentions that 'Iranian media reported that parliament held a closed-door session over the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission’s draft bill restricting the movement of vessels'. While this supports the existence of a bill and commission involvement, it does not specifically confirm the date of 'August 9' or the specific 'approval' as stated in the claim. No other sources confirm the August 9 date.

Claim 4: “the bill is currently on the agenda of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission and is undergoing expert review”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly states that the 'Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission this week unanimously approved the broad outlines of legislation that would tighten Iran’s control over Hormuz,' which aligns with the claim of the bill being on the agenda and undergoing review. However, no other independent source corroborates this specific legislative status.
