Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi on Friday to discuss regional security and future administration of the Strait of Hormuz amid U.S.-Iran tensions.
In a shared statement, Araghchi conveyed Iran’s solidarity with Oman against any threat and emphasized maintaining stability in the strategically vital waterway amidst growing geopolitical uncertainty. The two discussed managing the Strait of Hormuz according to sovereign responsibilities and international law, as concerns persist over regional tensions’ impact on global energy routes and maritime trade.
Araghchi also stated that Tehran remains open to consultations with neighboring countries on regional security issues, signaling continued diplomatic engagement despite heightened friction between Washington and Tehran.
During a productive call, Araghchi expressed Iran’s solidarity with Oman against any threat. The two discussed the future administration of Hormuz in line with their sovereign responsibilities and international law. They also welcomed consultation with all neighboring states.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has circulated a draft peace proposal for the conflict with Iran among allied countries, including Israel, as diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent further ceasefire violations from derailing negotiations. The proposed agreement closely resembles versions discussed across the Middle East in recent days and includes provisions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial maritime traffic and ending the US blockade on Iranian ports.
Under the memorandum of understanding, Iran would regain access to approximately $12 billion (£9 billion) in frozen assets. The plan seeks to restore shipping activity through the strategic waterway to pre-conflict levels within 30 days.
