Confirmed: Agreement is within reach
Foreign ministers from the Gulf states are planning to meet with their Iranian counterpart as part of an initiative by Oman and Iran to secure support for the adoption of an interim agreement governing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Sources familiar with the situation said this today.
Two sources told the Financial Times (FT) that the meeting is scheduled for Monday in the Omani coastal city of Salalah.
The meeting, being held at Oman’s initiative, will be the first encounter between the top diplomats of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council and a senior Iranian official since the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran in February.
One of the sources said the details had not yet been finalized, but that several countries had confirmed the meeting and that it was expected to go ahead.
Tehran and Muscat said just over two weeks ago that a temporary agreement between the two countries, under which vessels would enter the strait through Iranian waters and leave mainly via Omani territory, was entering its final stage. However, diplomats warned that for the Strait of Hormuz to be fully reopened, the United States and Iran would need to reach an agreement.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) comprises Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
The last time Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attended a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) meeting was in October 2024, in Doha.
