Regarding the ongoing negotiations with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian President Pezeshkian said that Oman initially supported Iran but later adopted a more reserved stance; however, in recent meetings the two sides reached consensus again and agreed to reopen the strait’s shipping lane under a coordinated plan. Pezeshkian stressed that Iran is currently working to ensure that if the shipping lane is reopened under a specific framework, the US must also fulfill its obligations.
