Oman has announced that negotiations aimed at easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, involving Iran and several Gulf states, have been delayed to allow for broader agreement among participants. The postponement comes as regional diplomatic efforts seek to prevent further escalation in an area critical to global oil shipping. Officials emphasized that the decision reflects a commitment to building consensus rather than rushing toward a resolution. The move underscores ongoing challenges in de-escalating tensions amid unresolved disputes between Iran and its Gulf neighbors.
Oman says Hormuz talks with Iran and Gulf states are postponed 'in the interests of consensus'.
