Oman's Sultan visits Iran for diplomatic and security talks.

Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said arrived in Tehran for a two-day visit to discuss regional diplomatic and security issues, including Iran's strained ties with Egypt and its disputed nuclear program. The visit comes two days after Oman mediated a prisoner swap between Iran and Belgium, but dozens of foreigners and dual nationals remain in jail in Iran, most facing espionage and security-related accusations. Iran and Oman are expected to sign at least four agreements in the fields of economy, investment, and energy.
