Iran to discuss Hormuz with Gulf states in Oman on Monday
Iran’s foreign ministry said the meeting aims to improve regional understanding and strengthen shared security.
Oman and Iran are set to hold talks in Oman on Monday regarding the management of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's foreign ministry. The Islamic republic seized control of the waterway following the February 28th US-Israeli strikes that killed its supreme leader, leading to retaliatory attacks across the region.
The Strait, which once permitted one-fifth of global oil shipments, has since been blocked by Iran, necessitating vessels to seek authorization and considering the possibility of imposing fees. Non-compliant ships have been targeted by Iranian strikes, while the United States periodically bombs Iran's coastline in an attempt to challenge its control.
The upcoming meeting in Oman aims to foster better understanding among regional countries and enhance shared security, involving Iraq and other Persian Gulf states.
