Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf announced on Tuesday that Iran and Oman have established a joint committee to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. The announcement, carried by N12, stated that further details will be provided at a later time. The move follows a series of diplomatic engagements between Tehran and Muscat. As The Zioneer reported on June 15, Iran and Oman previously announced a joint management company for the strategic waterway. Qalibaf himself visited Oman earlier this week, meeting with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq alongside Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The joint committee appears to be the latest step in Iran's diplomatic push regarding the strait, which has been a central issue in U.S.-Iran talks. The exact scope and mandate of the committee remain unclear until more details are released.
