Iran-Gulf shipping corridor talks postponed, Hormuz transit plan delayed

Oman's foreign minister announced the postponement of a planned Monday meeting between Iran and several Gulf states to establish a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz. The delay introduces uncertainty about the timeline for de-escalating tensions in the strait, a critical chokepoint for global oil flows. The reason for postponement is unstated, and it remains unclear whether talks will be rescheduled.
