Diplomacy stumbles as meeting on Hormuz between Iran and Gulf states is postponed

A diplomatic meeting between Iran and Gulf states, originally scheduled for Monday to discuss security in the Strait of Hormuz, has been postponed. Oman, which is hosting the talks, cited the need for consensus among the parties as the reason for the delay. Iranian officials stated that the participating countries are currently coordinating to set a new date for the meeting. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has again predicted that the ongoing conflict will conclude around the time of the US midterm elections.
