Iran says progress has been made in talks with Oman as both countries continue diplomatic efforts focused on security and maritime cooperation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said discussions with Omani officials have been productive, with both sides making progress on mechanisms to ensure the safe passage of commercial shipping through the strategic waterway while respecting the sovereignty of the two coastal states.
Officials say the talks are part of ongoing technical and political consultations aimed at reducing tensions in the Gulf and maintaining stability along one of the world's most important energy corridors.
The Strait of Hormuz carries a significant share of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments, making any disruption to navigation a major concern for international energy markets.
Baghaei stressed that consultations with Oman will continue, while emphasizing that normal shipping traffic through the Strait has not been disrupted.
The discussions come amid broader regional diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation and encourage dialogue following months of heightened tensions.
Regional and international observers continue monitoring the negotiations closely, with hopes that continued engagement could help strengthen maritime security and reduce the risk of future confrontation in the Gulf.
