Saudi Arabia and Iran recently held joint naval exercises in the Sea of Oman, indicating stronger ties between the two nations. The Gulf of Oman, also called the Gulf of Makran, is a western extension of the Arabian Sea in the Middle East.
It serves as the only entry point from the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz. Historically, it was a key trade route connecting the Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf, fostering trade between the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The Gulf is bordered by Pakistan and Iran to the north, UAE to the west, and Oman to the south.
