Iran Says It’s in Talks With Oman on Shipping, While U.S. Negotiations Are on Hold

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Tehran is currently engaged in talks with Oman on shipping arrangements, while negotiations with the United States remain on hold. The comments were made as tensions continue to run high around maritime navigation in the region. Tehran described the Oman track as the active diplomatic channel, aimed at managing or reducing risks affecting commercial traffic. U.S.-Iran talks have stalled amid disagreements over conditions and steps needed to reopen or stabilize shipping routes. The development keeps diplomatic efforts focused on Oman even as broader pressures persist.
