A 'rare' Gulf huddle soon over a Hormuz headache

Gulf foreign ministers are set to meet their Iranian counterpart in Oman on Monday. The meeting, according to the Financial Times, aims to secure a temporary deal to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is a key passage for oil shipments. The planned meeting comes as the region faces security concerns, including attacks by Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Co-operation Council, comprising six Gulf states, recently condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia at a UN Security Council meeting. They warned that such attacks posed a direct threat to regional security and stability.
