Gulf foreign ministers are planning to meet Iran’s foreign minister in a move tied to an Omani and Iranian initiative aimed at building support for an agreement on the temporary management of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Financial Times. Regional governments are also looking for ways to ease tensions around the strategic waterway.
The meeting was proposed by Oman and is expected to take place next Monday in the Omani coastal city of Salalah, according to people cited in the report. Details have not been finalized, but several countries have confirmed their participation and the meeting is expected to go ahead as scheduled.
If held, the gathering would mark the first meeting between the top diplomats of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council and senior Iranian officials since the U.S.-Iran conflict escalated in late February. The report said the talks would highlight the urgency felt across the region to try to reopen the strait and reduce hostilities between Washington and Tehran.
