Gulf States and Iran to Discuss Strait of Hormuz Shipping Arrangements Amid Regional Tensions
Gulf foreign ministers are scheduled to meet with Iran in Oman to discuss a temporary arrangement for managing shipping through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. The meeting, planned for Monday in Salalah, aims to promote regional understanding and security. Meanwhile, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis have taken control of key areas along the Red Sea coast near the Bab al-Mandeb shipping lane, raising concerns about potential disruptions to another vital maritime route. Saudi Arabia has responded with airstrikes on Houthi-held positions in Yemen.
