The delegation includes Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and other senior officials, according to Iranian state media.

The Sultanate's proximity to the strait—alongside Iran—gives it a direct stake in any new maritime regime.The talks also come as Iran and the US move to implement a broader agreement that includes the release of $12 billion in frozen assets, the establishment of safe passage mechanisms for commercial shipping, and the creation of a deconfliction cell for Lebanon.
