Iranian state news agency IRNA reported Araghchi's upcoming visit, citing foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei
Follow us on GoogleIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will travel to Muscat on Tuesday for talks with his Omani counterpart, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported, citing foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei.
Earlier this month, Araghchi said Qatari-mediated indirect talks between Tehran and Washington were “very intense,” even though the days-long talks ended with no significant movement toward a deal.
In comments to IRNA, Araghchi claimed that the future of diplomatic efforts depends on the US’s “political rationality,” warning that any renewed military operations against Iran will be met with a heavy response.
Iran attacks shipping navigation systems on Omani island
Last week, Iran attacked ship navigation systems on the Omani island of Didamar in the Strait of Hormuz, three sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed, showing Tehran's ability to target infrastructure used to restore Gulf oil flows.
The three sources did not provide a damage assessment, and Reuters could not determine independently if any navigation systems were destroyed in the attacks that Tehran had claimed on Tuesday.
Gulf exporters have been increasingly using workarounds to increase oil flows via Hormuz, such as ship-to-ship transfers (STS) off the coast of Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
