Iran plans meeting with Iraq and Gulf states in Oman on Strait of Hormuz
Iran announced a meeting with Iraq and Gulf nations to be held in Oman on September 14, 2026, to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, which remains under Iranian blockade. An Iranian official said no signed deal is expected from the meeting, though Iran plans to brief participants on its consultations with Oman regarding safe passage of ships. Bahrain, a GCC member, announced it will not participate, citing attacks on Gulf infrastructure and calling for the strait to be open without conditions.
