Iranian and Omani Foreign Ministers Discuss Strait of Hormuz Management

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi held a telephone conversation discussing developments in Iran and the future management of the Strait of Hormuz.

Araghchi described the conversation as very productive in a statement on X. He said both sides stressed solidarity between Iran and Oman against potential threats. The ministers discussed the future administration of the Strait of Hormuz within the framework of national sovereignty and international law. Araghchi added that Iran remains open to consultations and dialogue with neighboring countries on regional security issues.

The talks coincide with regional mediation efforts to preserve a fragile ceasefire. Negotiations between Iran and the United States continue with significant differences remaining. U.S. President Donald Trump is reviewing a final proposal and will make a final decision after consultations. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the United States is prepared to resume military strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails. Qatar and Oman have played active mediation roles between Tehran and Washington, with Oman long serving as a discreet mediator.
