Muscat: Sources reveal details of the anticipated agreement between Muscat and Tehran regarding the "Strait of Hormuz". An Omani source familiar with the negotiations stated that the final agreement is likely to focus on regulating navigation, enhancing maritime safety, and developing security coordination mechanisms between the Sultanate of Oman and Iran, without compromising the principle of freedom of transit passage enshrined in international law.
