Iran and Oman held talks in Tehran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for crude oil from Gulf states to global markets. The discussions focused on the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of the two countries in the strait, amid ongoing tensions over freedom of navigation and international law. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) establishes the right of innocent passage through territorial waters, but Iran warns against deviation from the declared course. An oil tanker that deviated from its course was reported to have hit a naval mine and exploded. The United States announced that the naval blockade on Iran continues despite the ceasefire. The talks reflect diplomatic efforts amid rising tensions in the region.
