In a move aimed at addressing the delicate situation in the Strait of Hormuz, Oman and Iran have held high-level discussions to ensure a smooth transit through the vital waterway. The talks, which took place in Muscat, the capital of Oman, focused on maintaining the safe and uninterrupted passage of vessels through the Strait, a strategic chokepoint that has been the subject of heightened tensions in recent years.
