[Iran says US aggression continues to affect shipping safety in the Strait] September 12th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagaei said on September 11th that Iran, Iraq and other Persian Gulf coastal countries will hold a regional meeting in Oman on the 14th. In addition to various regional issues, the meeting will also discuss the results of negotiations between Iran and Oman on a safe maritime channel in the Strait of Hormuz. Bagaei said he expected this meeting to help enhance understanding among countries in relevant regions and strengthen common regional security. Bagaei also said that Iran is committed to ensuring shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz, but as long as the United States’ aggressive behaviors and illegal interference such as maritime blockade and economic warfare continue, shipping safety in the Strait cannot be guaranteed.
