Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi arrived in Muscat on Saturday to meet with Oman's foreign minister as part of ongoing discussions on managing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The two countries have been holding talks for the past two months on arrangements for vessel movement through the strategic waterway.

Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that Tehran holds sovereign rights over the management of the Strait of Hormuz to ensure its safety and security. According to Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, the ministers are expected to discuss strategies to guarantee the safe passage of ships through the strait.

Araghchi’s visit comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts following recent reciprocal attacks between the United States and Iran, signaling attempts to stabilize regional tensions through dialogue.
