Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Iran and Oman will hold talks “to define future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz” following a recent joint statement in Muscat.

In a post on X, Araghchi says he had a productive call with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi and that the two countries are determined to pursue the discussions with their neighbors.

Oman told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Gulf Arab ministers at a meeting today that future arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz would not involve transit tolls.
