Iran and Oman have held a third round of defense talks attended by top military officials on the eve of planned joint defense drills.
The Iranian delegation discussed “mutual border issues” with the Omani officials in Monday's meeting, the Army's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement on Tuesday.
Oman's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lieutenant General Ahmad Bin Harith Al Nabhani, Inspector-General of Police and Customs Lieutenant General Malik bin Sulaiman al Maamari, and Minister of Defense Affairs Sayyid Badr bin Saud bin Harib al Busaidi attended the meeting, the statement added.
