Araghchi Briefs His Saudi Counterpart on the Iran and Oman Understanding Over Safe Hormuz Shipping Lanes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, meeting Saudi Arabia's foreign minister on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, briefed him on the understanding between Iran and Oman on safe shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz. According to Khabar Online, in a report published early on Saturday, 4 Mehr 1405 (September 26, 2026), Araghchi spoke of Iran's resolve to build trust and regional security mechanisms based on cooperation among the region's states, and the two sides also discussed improving bilateral ties between Tehran and Riyadh.

Separately, Oman's Foreign Ministry, as reported by Mehr News Agency, said its foreign minister, Badr Albusaidi, met Araghchi in New York, and the two exchanged views on ongoing consultations to secure maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and guarantee freedom of movement for ships in support of global trade and energy flows.

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been one of the main drivers of global oil prices and of expectations in Iran's currency market in recent weeks.
