Oman Leverages its Influence With Iran to Resolve Strait of Hormuz Impasse
Oman hosted Iranian delegations in Muscat on May 24 to discuss navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining an independent diplomatic position.

Oman's restraint and discreet diplomacy position it as a potential mediator between Iran and the United States in ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
