Oman says a planned meeting involving Iran and several Gulf states on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is postponed. Oman’s foreign minister says a session scheduled for Monday is delayed, with the goal of discussing arrangements for maritime passage in and around the strait.
The proposal concerns creating a temporary shipping lane, according to reports. Earlier, Iran’s foreign ministry said Oman would host a meeting focused on negotiating the future of the strategic waterway, linking the talks to broader efforts to manage shipping conditions. While both outlets describe the same planned format—Oman hosting discussions with Iran and Gulf counterparts— they differ only in emphasis, with one outlet highlighting Oman’s announcement and the other referring to Iran’s statement about the intended negotiations.
