On Sunday morning, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that the talks with Oman in Tehran over the weekend were productive, with political and technical consultations continuing. The characterization follows a series of reports and official statements on the discussions regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
The thread began with Iranian state-aligned media reporting the departure of the Omani delegation from Tehran (Sun 00:07 Jerusalem). Shortly after, Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed that the talks were 'useful and constructive' and noted that a bill on the strait is under discussion in parliament. Later, at 08:27 Jerusalem, the ministry announced that several rounds of talks at the deputy foreign minister level on Friday and Saturday had achieved progress.
The diplomatic engagement follows the arrival of an Omani delegation in Tehran on Friday July 24, as The Zioneer reported at 17:55 Jerusalem.

These talks are part of ongoing efforts to coordinate maritime traffic rules in the critical waterway for global oil shipments.
The specific content of the consultations remains undisclosed, and no details have been provided on the nature of the progress or the proposed parliamentary bill.
