JAKARTA - Iran and Oman have held the first meeting of a joint committee for the Strait of Hormuz in Muscat.
The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf previously said that Iran and Oman agreed to form a joint committee to facilitate dialogue regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
"During my visit to Muscat, the first meeting of the joint committee for the Strait of Hormuz took place ... in discussions on current issues related to the strait, we exchanged views on the management of the strait in the framework of Article 5 of the Islamabad Memorandum and the sovereignty of coastal states," said Deputy Foreign Minister Iran Kasem Gharibabadi, Monday, June 29, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.
In mid-June, Iranian authorities said a new order in the Strait of Hormuz was being created, with the process taking place through coordination with Oman.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz had been open to free navigation for years, but the situation in the sea lane would not be the same again after the United States and Israel attacked Iran.
Iranian authorities stressed that they plan to charge a service fee for the safe movement of ships passing through the sea lanes, although the fee is not in the form of a fee.
According to a peace memorandum with the US on June 18, Iran committed not to charge ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days.
