Oman has pledged to help safeguard navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments, while urging Iran and the United States to reach a settlement over regional tensions, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi made the remarks as part of broader comments on regional security, in which he also reiterated Oman's support for a political settlement to the conflict in Yemen, the report said.
Oman has long positioned itself as a mediator in Middle East disputes, maintaining diplomatic channels with both Iran and Western governments, and has previously facilitated indirect talks between Tehran and Washington on issues including the strait and broader security tensions.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important oil shipping routes, and any disruption to navigation there has significant implications for global energy markets. Regional tensions involving Iran and the United States have periodically raised concerns about the security of the waterway.
The report did not specify further details of Albusaidi's proposed approach to a settlement, nor a timeline for renewed negotiations between Iran and the United States.
