Iran has stated that it has made progress in talks with Oman on operational mechanisms to ensure the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, while emphasizing that there have been no changes in maritime traffic through this strategic waterway.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei reported that the Deputy Foreign Ministers of Iran and Oman held several rounds of negotiations in Tehran on Friday and Saturday.
"Both sides exchanged views on common principles and operational mechanisms for the safe transit of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz," Baqaei said, as quoted by the semi-official Fars news agency.
He also described the meetings as "productive" and highlighted that progress was made during the deliberations.
Baqaei added that the Omani delegation left Tehran on Saturday afternoon, but clarified that political and technical consultations between the two countries are ongoing.
The Strait of Hormuz has been at the center of increasing security tensions since the United States and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran on February 28, 2026.
In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding that included a ceasefire after mediation by Qatar and Pakistan, which paved the way for negotiations for a definitive agreement to end the conflict.
However, US President Donald Trump ended the ceasefire on July 8 after a new military escalation.
Washington has demanded that Tehran end attacks on commercial shipping and guarantee freedom of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran insists that the passage of vessels be regulated by a mechanism administered by them along the strategic passage bordering its coasts.
For his part, Trump has ordered US armed forces not to launch new attacks against Iran, ending almost two weeks of daily bombings, Axios reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the decision.
