Iran-Gulf Hormuz Talks Postponed Amid New Ship Strikes
- On Sunday, September 13, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced that the regional meeting scheduled for Monday in Salalah is postponed. "In the interests of consensus," Albusaidi wrote on X, while affirming commitment to regional dialogue.
- The gathering was intended as the first meeting between the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council and a senior Iranian official since the United States and Israel launched their war on the Islamic Republic in late February.
- Diplomats planned to present a finalized Iran-Oman agreement establishing new transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz, a deal outlined by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Albusaidi in Tehran to ease months of disruption.
- Regional journalist Ali Hashem reported that Saudi Arabia requested the postponement following recent attacks on oil pipelines, though Riyadh has not confirmed this account. Other Gulf states and Iraq were scheduled to attend for briefings.
- Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz on February 28, keeping Brent crude above $100 a barrel, with Goldman Sachs warning of $120. Iran maintains the waterway will remain closed until specific conditions are met.
