Meeting in Oman with Gulf Arab states postponed at request of regional countries, Iran says

A meeting between Iran and Gulf Arab states in Oman, intended to discuss future shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, has been postponed. Iran's Fars news agency reported that the delay was at the request of some regional countries, a decision made jointly by Tehran and Muscat. Oman's Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, confirmed the postponement, stating, "We remain committed to fostering dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in our region." While Iran had indicated it would present an agreement reached with Oman, a senior Iranian official had previously stated that the meeting was unlikely to result in a signed agreement to reopen the strait. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also noted that the strait would not reopen until the United States satisfies Tehran's demands. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command announced that 101 commercial vessels have been redirected by U.S. forces as part of the ongoing blockade against Iran.
