Iran and Oman discuss Strait of Hormuz security
Iranian officials are working with Oman to establish protocols for sustainable security and safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The move follows months of severe global energy disruptions and a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports during the ongoing regional conflict.
Iran is seeking a security mechanism with Oman to stabilize shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The proposal follows a near-total shutdown of the waterway by Iranian forces since late February. Restoring traffic is critical for global energy markets currently facing the largest supply disruption in history.
### Tehran Proposes Coastal Cooperation Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told state TV on Wednesday afternoon that the country wants to develop protocols for safe shipping. Baghaei said Iran is ready to cooperate with other coastal states to ensure sustainable security in the corridor. The spokesperson did not provide specific details on the proposed technical or military framework.
