A planned Monday meeting on Strait of Hormuz security between Iran and Gulf Arab states was postponed, with Oman citing the need to build 'consensus' before proceeding. Iran said the countries would coordinate a new date, reflecting ongoing friction over regional maritime security amid the broader Iran-Israel conflict. The postponement comes as President Trump reiterated predictions that the wider war would extend past the US midterm elections, adding uncertainty to efforts at regional diplomatic stabilization involving Iran and its Gulf neighbors.
