Iran and Gulf states plan to meet in Oman to discuss Strait of Hormuz
Iran and Gulf states are scheduled to meet in Oman on Monday, September 14, 2026, to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. The meeting follows weeks of discussions between Iran and Oman on managing the strategic waterway, which has been disrupted since US-Israeli strikes on Iran began in late February 2026. Iran and Oman reportedly agreed last month on a shipping route, mine clearing, and short-term management of the strait.
