Six Gulf foreign ministers are set to meet with Iran's top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, in the Omani city of Salalah, according to a report by the Financial Times. The gathering aims to gain support for a temporary deal managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global trade. This would be the first meeting between the Gulf Cooperation Council and a senior Iranian official since the US and Israel initiated military action against Iran in February.
The last time Araghchi attended a GCC meeting was in October 2024, in Doha. While the specifics of the meeting were not finalized, multiple states have confirmed their attendance. Both Iran and Oman seek to ensure the deal remains temporary, allowing for smooth passage of ships through the strategic waterway.
