Iran says its negotiations with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz are continuing in a positive atmosphere, signalling ongoing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions around one of the world’s most important oil transit routes.
According to Iranian officials, the talks are centred on defining safe inbound and outbound shipping corridors to ensure the secure movement of commercial vessels through the strategic waterway.
The discussions are also aimed at safeguarding the maritime rights and security interests of both Iran and Oman, which share responsibility for waters surrounding the strait.
The Strait of Hormuz handles a substantial portion of global oil exports, making any agreement on shipping safety closely watched by energy markets, shipping companies and regional governments.
The latest comments suggest that both sides are pursuing a practical maritime arrangement focused on navigation safety and de-escalation, even as broader regional security issues remain under discussion.
