Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi on Friday to discuss regional security and future administration of the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran.
In a statement shared on X, Araghchi conveyed Iran’s solidarity with Oman against any threat and emphasized the importance of maintaining stability in the strategically vital waterway amidst growing geopolitical uncertainty. The two officials also discussed managing the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with sovereign responsibilities and international law.
Araghchi added that Tehran remains open to consultations with neighboring countries on regional security issues, signaling continued diplomatic engagement despite heightened friction between Washington and Tehran.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has circulated a draft peace proposal for the conflict with Iran among allied countries, including Israel. The proposed agreement 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 also regain access to approximately $12 billion in frozen assets.
According to the report, the plan seeks to restore shipping activity through the strategic waterway to pre-conflict levels within 30 days.
