Oman postpones Hormuz talks between Iran and Gulf states

Oman has postponed a planned meeting between Iran and Gulf countries to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. The talks, which were scheduled to take place in Salalah, were put on hold as Oman stated that the conditions were not suitable for a constructive dialogue.

According to Iran's director general for Gulf affairs, Mohammad Ali Bak, the meeting was postponed at the request of some regional countries and by a joint decision by Oman and Iran. Iran's side also stated that they will coordinate closely with Oman to find a suitable date for the meeting.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi said the postponement was made in the interests of consensus, without specifying which countries requested the delay. The Strait of Hormuz has been heavily disrupted due to regional tensions, and the meeting aimed to discuss arrangements for its future.
