What happened

Even if the outcome of talks between Iran and Oman on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is successful, risks of further escalation will persist, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

Why it matters

"The current situation in the Persian Gulf can hardly be called a 'pause', given the fairly regular exchange of strikes, the re-imposition of the naval blockade or the broader involvement of the parties involved in the crisis.

Common ground

At that, risks of the situation worsening further and escalation remain even if the outcome of talks between Iran and Oman on the regime of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is successful," the senior Russian diplomat said in an interview with News.ru.
