Iran and Oman held the first meeting of a joint committee on the Strait of Hormuz in Muscat to discuss current issues related to the narrow sea passageway and its future management, the Iranian deputy foreign minister said on Monday, Anadolu Agency reported.

Iran and Oman have held the first meeting of their newly established joint Hormuz committee, with discussions focusing on the future governance of the Strait of Hormuz.

The first meeting of the Iran-Oman joint committee on the Strait of Hormuz took place in Muscat, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Monday.

Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi has expressed support for Iran's plan to impose "maritime service fees" on vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi has rejected France's bid to demine the Strait of Hormuz in collaboration with its allies, saying the operation will exclusively be carried out by the Islamic Republic.

Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil and gas supplies, slowed sharply after attacks on ships over the weekend, including an attack on a Qatari tanker that prompted a US military response.

Iran has claimed no talks are scheduled with the United States in the coming days, despite President Donald Trump saying that Tehran had "requested a meeting" and that negotiations would take place on June 30 in the Gulf state of Qatar.

An Iranian official said that no technical talks are being held this week with the United States, despite earlier reports saying the two sides would meet in the coming days.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says "no technical talks" with the United States have been scheduled in Doha this week, refuting media reports that working groups established under the recently-signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Tehran and Washington were set to meet in the Qatari capital.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that any agreement between Iran and the United States must be rooted in mutual respect and reciprocal commitments, not threats or one-sided pressure.

The spokesman for Iran's negotiating delegation with the United States says the indirect talks with the US to finalize an agreement between the two countries will begin once the key terms of a bilateral 14-point memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June are fully implemented.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says that $6 billion of the country's frozen assets held in Qatar will be released and returned to Iran under the recently-signed Islamabad memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States.
