Iran and Oman have held discussions on ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, operating under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
The talks, reported by multiple wire services, signal a continued diplomatic push to secure one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.
The dialogue comes as global oil markets adjust to the resumption of normal flows through the strait.
The International Energy Agency recently signaled a recovery in global oil demand, noting that Hormuz flows have stabilized.
This normalization reduces the immediate premium on shipping risk, though traders remain vigilant for any diplomatic setbacks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi’s recent arrival in Muscat for high-level talks underscores the regional focus on de-escalation.
