BlockBeats news, September 11, according to the Financial Times, foreign ministers of Gulf states plan to meet with Iran's foreign minister in response to an initiative by Oman and Iran, seeking support for an agreement on the temporary management of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, countries in the region are seeking ways to ease hostilities surrounding this waterway. The meeting, proposed by Oman, will be the first between top diplomats from the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council and senior Iranian officials since the outbreak of US-Iran conflict at the end of February.

According to sources, the meeting is scheduled to be held next Monday in Salalah, a coastal city in Oman.

If the meeting goes ahead, it will highlight the region's urgency to try to reopen the strait and ease US-Iran hostilities.
