An Omani diplomatic delegation arrived in Tehran for talks with Iranian officials on mechanisms governing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.
The report said the delegation’s visit was part of ongoing consultations between Iran and Oman aimed at establishing appropriate mechanisms for managing ship traffic through the strategic waterway.
Separately, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone call with his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi on Friday, during which they discussed the latest regional developments, maritime security, and the movement of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf following what Tehran described as the Iranian armed forces’ “reciprocal and proportionate” responses to US attacks against Iran.
The two ministers also stressed the importance of safeguarding maritime security and reviewed regional cooperation and initiatives aimed at preventing further escalation and promoting peace, stability, and security in the region, the ministry added.
No further details were immediately provided about the Omani delegation or the duration of its talks.
