Omani and Iranian military chiefs met in Tehran on Tuesday as the two nations prepare for military drills.
Oman's chief of staff, Abdullah bin Khamis Al Raisi, arrived in Tehran on Monday at the invitation of his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Bagheri.
Iranian state media said during the visit, Al Raisi is expected to tour an exhibition of Iran's military capabilities and meet with senior Iranian military commanders.
Last week, Iran's IRGC navy chief announced there will be ongoing drills with other countries neighboring Iran such as Oman.
"We have had engagements with Oman's navy in this regard and have participated in joint drills with Oman," he said.
Oman has been a key ally to Tehran, one of the players helping to mediate a rapprochement with Saudi Arabia which resumed diplomatic ties with Iran in 2023 after a seven year blackout.
