The Sultan of Oman will visit Britain for a three-day state visit next month as the Arab nation that controls the southern shore of the Strait of Hormuz comes under pressure from both the U.S. and Iran.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla will host Sultan Haitham bin Tarik at Windsor Castle from Oct. 20 to Oct. 22, Buckingham Palace said in a statement Thursday. Details of the visit were not released.
