Reuters - Oman�s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah will meet Iran�s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in Tehran on Sunday to discuss maritime security in the Hormuz strait, Oman�s foreign ministry tweeted.

Oman maintains friendly ties with both the United States and Iran and has previously been a go-between for the two countries, which severed diplomatic ties after the 1979 Iranian revolution.
