Iran: Regional tensions and local tragedies
Gulf shipping: Tehran is widely believed to have been behind a series of attacks on shipping in the Gulf of Oman in May and June, although it has denied any involvement.

Omani officials also travelled to Iran in late July to discuss the security of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
