TREE NEWS update: Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said on September 26, in an address to the 81st UN General Assembly, that Oman will continue working to safeguard navigation security in the Strait of Hormuz. He called on all parties to cooperate with Oman to ensure passage through the strait in accordance with international law.

Whether other parties visibly reciprocate Oman's mediation is the open question.
