The Financial Times reports that Gulf Cooperation Council foreign ministers are expected to hold an initial meeting with Iranian counterparts in Salalah, Oman, on Monday to discuss a framework for managing shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This proposed negotiation follows recent attacks on tankers and reported US strikes on an Iranian civilian vessel, as well as missile attacks on a US base in Jordan.

While officials have indicated the gathering is intended to ease regional hostilities, specific logistical details and the finalization of arrangements remain pending.
