At the same time, Iran is seeking “to agree on a protocol with Oman (…) to ensure peacetime navigation and guarantee that all transits will be carried out in accordance with this protocol and security requirements,” Deputy Foreign Minister Kezem Garibadi said, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The Iranian agency reproduced statements Garibabadi reportedly made to the Russian Sputnik news agency.
“We are currently completing the drafting of this protocol and, once it is finalized internally, we will certainly start negotiations with the Omani side,” the deputy minister added.
The Omani government has so far not reported any talks with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz. However, on 23 March, Foreign Minister Badr al-Bussaidi said in a post on the X platform that his country was working on “implementing safe passage protocols” through Hormuz.
Since the beginning of the war launched by Israel and the US on Iran on February 28, the near-total paralysis of this sea passage has had a global economic impact and caused a sharp rise in hydrocarbon prices.
Earlier yesterday (Thursday), representatives of some forty countries meeting by teleconference in London called for the “immediate and unconditional opening” of the straits, threatening Iran with new sanctions, Britain’s foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, said.
For the Iranian deputy minister, “it is likely that after this war is over, our region will again become a theatre of aggression. In the event of another armed conflict, the commercial and military ships of the aggressors and their allies will no longer have the right of passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
But even in normal times and in peacetime,” Iran and Oman, countries that share the Strait, “have made significant efforts over the years to guarantee maritime security,” he said. “We therefore believe that in peacetime, navigation should be supervised and coordinated by the coastal countries, Oman and Iran,” he added.
