Oman and Iran Hold UNGA Talks on Hormuz Navigation, With Oman as Potential Mediator

Oman and Iran held bilateral talks on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on September 26, focusing on Hormuz navigation and regional tensions. Oman, which has historically served as a back-channel between Iran and Western powers, is exploring a potential mediation role as diplomatic efforts to reopen the strait continue. The talks add another regional diplomatic track alongside the Qatari and Pakistani channels Iran has been using to relay conditions to Washington.
