  "summary": "A meeting between Iran and other Persian Gulf powers to discuss the Strait of Hormuz proposal has been postponed. According to Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi, the meeting in Salalah was put off to allow more time to create conditions for constructive dialogue aimed at strengthening regional security and stability.\n\nThe postponement comes amid heightened regional tensions and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies. The region has seen fresh attacks, including a strike on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which caused a fire and forced the crew to be evacuated, according to the British maritime security agency UKMTO.\n\nOil prices rose more than $3 a barrel at the market open on Monday, following the new strikes on Saudi Arabia and on ships in the Gulf on Sunday. Brent crude futures rose $3.62 to $108.23 per barrel, and WTI futures rose $3.15 to $103.20 per barrel.",
