Gulf foreign ministers are scheduled to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Oman on Monday, September 14, 2026, to discuss a temporary arrangement for managing commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters reported that Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan will attend, with Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq also expected to participate; Kuwait may join, while Bahrain said it would not.
The talks are part of an Omani–Iran-backed effort amid wartime disruption of Gulf energy routes, including Iran’s control over Hormuz traffic and Houthi pressure on Red Sea shipping.
