Iranian-Omani Talks Emphasize Continued Coordination on Maritime Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz

The Foreign Ministers of Iran and Oman engaged in a telephone conversation to underscore the necessity of sustained bilateral coordination regarding maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides discussed recent regional developments, including maritime navigation arrangements and planned provisional measures, agreeing to continue diplomatic consultations and technical coordination. This follows earlier warnings issued by Iranian authorities regarding the risks of utilizing transit routes in the strait without prior coordination with Tehran, in response to efforts to establish alternative maritime corridors. Relevant Iranian bodies emphasized the mandatory nature of coordination through designated channels, warning of direct actions against any vessels violating these directives.
