Araghchi arrives in Muscat for talks on Strait of Hormuz, regional developments

On 11 July 2026, Araghchi arrived in Muscat for talks on the Strait of Hormuz and regional developments. Iran's and Oman's foreign ministers discussed safe passage for vessels through the strait and a 'proportionate mechanism', and agreed to continue talks toward a consensus. IRNA wrote that technical talks will continue.

According to a source cited by CNN, Oman proposed managing Hormuz traffic through two separately controlled routes. Qatari officials also held talks with Iran and Oman on opening the strait, and the Saudi Crown Prince and Trump discussed US-Iran talks, regional stability and Hormuz security. MS NOW wrote that a vague statement about Hormuz in the US-Iran peace agreement is causing new trouble.
