Iran-Oman talks to reopen Hormuz were called off. What happened?

0 September 14, 2026 14:42

Gulf diplomats and Iranian officials were set to meet Monday to discuss an Omani plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to regular tanker traffic, a conversation that would have happened without a critical player: the United States.

But, as news of the meeting circulated on Sunday, it was indefinitely postponed, according to the Omani foreign minister.
After months of private discussions on a complicated possible legal framework to reopen the strait that could allow Iran and Oman to collect fees, diplomats hoped the gathering could create some momentum for a deal.

Saudi Arabia submitted amendments because it had concerns that the proposed language could effectively establish a new status quo that would not be acceptable to it or the other Gulf Cooperation Council states.
