Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his Omani counterpart held talks in Dubai on Saturday to discuss arrangements for the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
The discussions come as the United States seeks a public pledge from Tehran guaranteeing free and secure access to the critical waterway.
Multiple wire services are reporting that the bilateral meeting in Dubai is part of a broader diplomatic effort to stabilize shipping routes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The focus on the Strait of Hormuz reflects persistent market anxiety over route exposure and potential disruptions to global energy flows.
While no immediate operational changes were announced, the diplomatic engagement signals a continued effort to de-escalate risks in one of the world’s most vital chokepoints.
Investors and traders are monitoring these developments closely, as any progress toward a formal security agreement could reduce the risk premium embedded in energy and shipping markets.
