# Iranian officials are set to meet with officials from Iraq and Gulf states today to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has been negotiating with Oman, which controls the opposite bank of the Strait, over a deal that would govern transport through it. Around a fifth of global oil supplies transited the Strait before the US-Israel war against Iran started in February, causing oil costs to rise. Iranian Foreign Ministry says Tehran remains committed to ensuring the security of navigation in the Strait.
