Iran-GCC Hormuz Navigation Diplomacy Advances Amid Bahraini Abstention

GCC foreign ministers, excluding Bahrain, are scheduled to meet with Iran's Foreign Minister in Oman on Monday to discuss a 'Hormuz management agreement' or 'navigation deal' for the Strait of Hormuz. This initiative, confirmed by multiple sources, signals a significant diplomatic push to de-escalate regional maritime tensions, though the precise terms and scope of the agreement remain unclear. Iran's President has linked the reopening of the strait to the US ending its 'blockade and attacks', indicating continued friction with Washington despite the regional diplomatic efforts.
