Gulf foreign ministers plan to meet their Iranian counterpart in a push by Oman and Iran to secure buy-in for a temporary deal to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
The gathering is scheduled to be held on Monday in the Omani coastal city of Salalah, the report said, citing two people briefed on the matter. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
Iran has repeatedly stated that the strait will stay closed until the United States stops its blockade and attacks on Iranian ports. Iranian military forces have also warned that any unauthorized ship trying to cross the waterway will be attacked or placed on a sanctions list.
