Iran announced on Sunday that it had made progress in talks with Oman regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The waterway is a vital route for global oil and gas shipments.
The discussions come after the United States resumed military strikes against Iran. Washington aims to end Tehran’s control of the strait. The renewed attacks follow a June memorandum of understanding that had briefly reduced tensions.
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that several rounds of negotiations were held. He did not provide specific details on the outcomes.
