Iran and the Gulf countries were originally scheduled to hold a meeting in Oman on September 14 to announce the new channel arrangement agreed between Iran and Oman in the Strait of Hormuz. However, due to Bahrain's non-participation and Saudi Arabia's request for an extension, this meeting has been postponed. Qin Tian, deputy director of the Middle East Research Institute of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, pointed out that it is difficult for Iran and the Gulf countries to reach an agreement, but it still reserves the possibility that the two sides will continue to explore solutions to the Hormuz Strait navigation issue through negotiations in the future.
