Iranian and Omani officials inked an agreement on maritime demarcation in Muscat on May 26.

The agreement was signed by the visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the Omani Interior Minister Hamoud Bin Faisal Albusaidi.

According to the agreement, the longest sea border between Iran and Oman was delimited within 450 km, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported.

The two reached the agreement after holding ten rounds of expert and technical talks on the issue.

The delimitation of the border between Tehran and Muscat is the first after Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
