Tehran - Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi is scheduled to visit Iran on Tuesday, according to Iran's foreign ministry. The trip aims to discuss the regulation of ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil and gas shipping. Oman and Iran, both littoral states of the strait, are engaging in political consultations to bolster peace and security in the region.
Iran currently maintains control over Hormuz, requiring vessels to seek permission and pay transit fees before using the waterway. The United States advocates for the restoration of free navigation in the strait, while President Donald Trump asserts American control over Hormuz, through which approximately one-fifth of global oil and gas trade passes.
