Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Tuesday evening that the talks with Oman were defined as 'positive' at both the professional and political levels, according to N12 (Channel 12). The framework under discussion, the spokesman said, is designed to ensure the sovereign rights of both countries and take into account their national security considerations.
The statement expands on the same spokesman's earlier remarks at 19:31 Jerusalem, reported by The Zioneer, in which he described the negotiating tracks as ensuring sovereign rights and said final results would be announced after completion of the talks.
Earlier Tuesday, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran was demanding full control over vessel entry to the Strait of Hormuz and partial control of exits under a temporary plan with Oman. An i24NEWS report added that the United States has been 'much more' flexible than Oman, and that any final agreement requires Washington's approval. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi separately confirmed that the talks are progressing on political and technical levels, focused on safe shipping routes.
The Zioneer reported on July 24 that the Iranian and Omani foreign ministers discussed regional developments and maritime security. The current talks are part of broader regional diplomacy, which has also included indirect US-Iran discussions mediated by Oman and other Gulf states.
What remains unclear: the specific operational details of the proposed framework, and whether the positive characterization from the spokesman reflects progress on the substance of the talks or merely the diplomatic process itself.
