Financial Times reports Gulf foreign ministers will meet Iran’s foreign minister next Monday in Salalah, Oman, to seek support for a temporary agreement to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The initiative, driven by Oman and Iran, aims to ease hostilities around the waterway. It would be the first meeting between senior Iranian officials and foreign ministers of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council since late‑February US‑Iran clashes. Details are not final but multiple states expect the meeting to proceed. If held, the talks would signal regional urgency to reopen the strait and reduce US‑Iran tensions.
