Pakistan and Oman are intensifying diplomatic efforts with Iran to ease tensions with the US and resolve the crisis at the Strait of Hormuz. As the Trump administration threatens new sanctions on countries doing business with Iran, both nations are sending senior officials to Tehran. Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Iranian leaders to discuss preventing escalation, reopening the Hormuz strait, and ending the conflict through dialogue.
Oman's Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi, is also set to visit Tehran on Tuesday for talks focused on the strait and regional peace. The Iranian economy is already struggling, and further US pressure could push Tehran to escalate the conflict. Iran has warned it will retaliate, potentially disrupting Gulf oil exports. Despite the pressure, Iran remains defiant, with Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh stating the country is prepared for the sanctions.
