BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. Talks between Iran and
Oman on security issues in the Strait of Hormuz will continue in
the coming days, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail
Baghaei said at a press conference in Tehran on May 4, Trend reports.
According to him, given that Iran and Oman are coastal states in
the Strait of Hormuz, the goal of continuing the talks is to ensure
the safe passage of ships through the strait.
Baghaei noted that in this regard, Iranian Foreign Minister
Seyed Abbas Araghchi recently visited Pakistan, Russia, and
Oman.
As a result of the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran from
February 28 through April 7, the free passage of ships through the
Strait of Hormuz was significantly restricted.
U.S. Central Command announced that approximately 15,000 U.S.
military personnel, guided-missile destroyers, and more than 100
aircraft will be deployed in Operation Project Freedom to evacuate
ships that have been wrecked in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz
due to the military conflict.
