Foreign ministers from the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council plan to meet Iran’s foreign minister next Monday in Salalah, Oman, to seek support for an agreement on temporarily managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting was proposed by Oman in response to initiatives by Oman and Iran as regional governments seek to ease tensions surrounding the strategic waterway. It would be the first meeting between the GCC’s top diplomats and a senior Iranian official since the U.S.-Iran conflict began in late February. Details remain unsettled, but several countries have confirmed the meeting is expected to proceed. If held, it would underscore the region’s urgency to reopen the strait and reduce hostility between the United States and Iran.
