Iran foreign minister Abbas Aragchi to visit Muscat, hold talks with Omani counterpart
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi will hold talks with his Omani counterpart during his Muscat visit on Tuesday.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to visit Oman on Tuesday to hold discussions with his Omani counterpart, according to a report by Iranian state news agency IRNA. The visit comes after Araghchi recently stated that Qatari-mediated indirect talks between Tehran and Washington were "very intense," despite the talks concluding without any significant progress towards a deal.
Araghchi emphasized in a statement to IRNA that the future of diplomatic efforts relies on the United States' "political rationality," warning that any renewed military operations against Iran would prompt a heavy response from Tehran. Earlier this week, Iran targeted ship navigation systems on the Omani island of Didamar within the Strait of Hormuz, as confirmed by three sources familiar with the incident.
The extent of damage remains unknown, and Reuters could not independently verify if any navigation systems were destroyed during the attacks that Tehran claimed on Tuesday. In response to the attacks, Gulf exporters have increasingly adopted workarounds to ensure oil flows continue through the Hormuz Strait, such as ship-to-ship transfers (STS) off the coasts of Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
