Iran’s top diplomat traveled to Oman on Sunday for high-level discussions about regional stability and ongoing tensions with the United States, according to statements from Iran’s foreign ministry.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said in Muscat to address security concerns in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and surrounding Gulf waters, while also exploring diplomatic solutions to the Iran-U.S. standoff.
During the meeting, Araqchi argued that American military forces stationed throughout the Middle East were contributing to regional instability and creating divisions. He advocated for establishing a security arrangement for the region that would operate without external involvement from foreign powers.
