Oman, Iran foreign ministers discuss de-escalation, maritime security

The involvement of Oman, a long-standing neutral conduit between Tehran and Washington, gives this call more weight than routine diplomatic contact. The focus on a joint technical mechanism for shipping lanes speaks directly to the risk premium tied to Gulf energy transit and, by extension, to tokenized commodity and RWA flows that depend on predictable logistics. Whether such a mechanism moves from discussion to an operational arrangement is the open question; until then, the signal is intent rather than de-risking.
