GCC urges return to pre-Feb. 28 Hormuz conditions, backs Saudi dialogue with US-Iran

Gulf Cooperation Council ministers, meeting in Bahrain, expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and called for a return to pre-February 28 conditions in the Strait of Hormuz, signaling a collective push for de-escalation amid US-Iran tensions. The reference to a specific date suggests a prior incident or policy shift that altered the status quo, and the GCC's unified stance may pressure Washington and Tehran to resume dialogue. The outcome remains uncertain as no concrete steps or commitments were announced.
