## Summary
Iran's Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi and Oman's Minister of State Abdulaziz Al-Hinai held the first session of the Iran-Oman Joint Hormuz Committee in Muscat on Monday, convened under Article 5 of the June 17 [Islamabad Memorandum](/ja/n/iran-us-ceasefire-mou). They reviewed current developments in the [Strait of Hormuz](/ja/entity/place/strait-of-hormuz) and discussed its future management and the sovereign rights of coastal states. The committee was established in a June 23 joint statement when Iranian parliament speaker Qalibaf and FM Araghchi visited Muscat.

## Why it matters
The bilateral committee gives [Iran](/ja/entity/iran) and [Oman](/ja/entity/oman) a governance channel distinct from the [US-Iran Doha track](/ja/n/iran-us-doha-talks-jun29), allowing Tehran to embed coastal-state authority claims into the peace architecture, formalising a position it can use to shape the final deal.
