Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed the latest bilateral and regional developments with his Omani and Saudi counterparts, Iranian media reported.

Araghchi held separate phone calls on Monday with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan.

During the calls, the three diplomats stressed the need to strengthen regional cooperation and advance joint diplomatic efforts aimed at promoting stability, according to Iranian media.

They also addressed the insecurity imposed on the Strait of Hormuz as a result of US acts of aggression,” IRNA news agency reported.

The United States has breached the Pakistan-brokered Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of June 17 by attempting to conduct unauthorized naval maneuvers in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting the Iranian Navy to intercept the ships to uphold the agreement.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Saturday that several rounds of negotiations were held in Tehran on Friday and Saturday between the Iranian and Omani deputy foreign ministers.

According to Baghaei, talks with Oman over safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have made good progress, but no change has been made in the status of transit through the strategic waterway.
