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. They reviewed current developments in the 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 and Oman a governance channel distinct from the US-Iran Doha track, allowing Tehran to embed coastal-state authority claims into the peace architecture, formalising a position it can use to shape the final deal.
