Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says it will develop a mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, adding that the two countries will exchange views with other countries when necessary, The Caspian Post reports, citing Al Jazeera.

Iran and Oman will “develop a management mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz” and will “cooperate and consult with other regional countries wherever necessary”, said Baghaei in a statement relayed by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.

“Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, it has been agreed that maritime traffic will be returned to normal within a specified time,” said Baghaei, adding, “This is our own responsibility, and only we will carry it out; there will be no need for participation or intervention from other parties.”
