Iran and Gulf States to Meet in Oman on Strait of Hormuz Without Expected Deal
Iran plans to attend a meeting in Oman with Gulf countries on Monday to discuss the Strait of Hormuz and regional issues, though no signed agreement is expected. Iran seeks a deal allowing it to collect fees from ships using the strait, which Oman rejects. Bahrain has declined participation. An understanding between Iran and Oman sets a basis for potential reopening but does not guarantee immediate access, contingent on U.S. conditions. The strait remains a critical oil transit route amid recent regional tensions.
