In a post on X on Sunday, Gharibabadi said he traveled to Oman at the head of a diplomatic and legal delegation and met with Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi.
Gharibabadi delivered a message from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi concerning ongoing regional consultations and bilateral cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
According to the Iranian diplomat, the message also addressed the ongoing Pakistan-mediated talks between Tehran and Washington and efforts to advance the negotiations.
Following the meeting, he said, the Iranian and Omani delegations held an extensive session on principles governing maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The two sides emphasized the importance of maintaining security and respecting the national sovereignty of the coastal states in accordance with international law.
The talks were attended by Oman’s Undersecretary for Political Affairs, Sheikh Khalifa bin Ali bin Issa al-Harthy and several officials from both sides.
The meeting comes amid heightened regional tensions following the joint US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Since the United States and Israel launched their unprovoked war against Iran in late February, Iranian armed forces have placed the Strait of Hormuz under strict control, blocking vessels associated with the two aggressors.
Iranian authorities have since maintained that lasting stability in the strategic waterway depends on an end to hostilities against the Islamic Republic.
