Was the September 14, 2026 Oman meeting between Iran and Gulf states on the Strait of Hormuz postponed?

Yes. Oman postponed the Monday, September 14, 2026 meeting in Muscat that was meant to bring Iranian and Gulf foreign ministers together to discuss managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said late Sunday the talks were delayed “in the interests of consensus.”

An Iranian foreign ministry official said Iran and Oman agreed to the postponement at the request of some regional countries. Saudi Arabia had reportedly submitted amendments to a related Iran-Oman arrangement over lasting implications for Gulf Cooperation Council members. The delay came amid heightened Hormuz shipping risks, including an Iranian cargo vessel struck near Qeshm Island that Iranian state media said killed one person and wounded four.
