القضايا الأمنية المؤثرة في العلاقات العُمانية الإيرانية

Abstract

The

relations between the Sultanate of Oman and Iran have been distinguished by their quality, with positive repercussions on regional security and the security of the Arabian Gulf region, including the security of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the freedom of international navigation therein. Furthermore, cases of non-alignment in positions regarding those issues, and regarding foreign military presence in the region, have not negatively affected their bilateral relations.

This research is divided into three axes: The first axis examines the Sultanate of Oman's vision concerning the security of the Arabian Gulf, the second axis discusses Iran's vision regarding the security of the Arabian Gulf, and the third axis explores the security of the Strait of Hormuz.

Among the most important findings of the research is that the quality of relations between the Sultanate of Oman and Iran had positive repercussions on regional security in general, and the security of the Arabian Gulf region in particular, despite the non-alignment in positions towards some security issues and the difference in partners, especially given that the Sultanate of Oman rejected the blockade and sanctions imposed on Iran.
