Myles ' votes, especially when dealing with foreign policy issues, are often considered symbolic if they are not supported by the most powerful body selected by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. On Sunday, following US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, parliament's national security and foreign policy committee proposed before the legislature that the Hormuz Strait, which lies on Iran's southern coast, be closed. This decision would ultimately depend on the Supreme National Security Council.
