Gulf diplomats and Iranian officials were set to meet Monday to discuss an Omani plan for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to regular tanker traffic, a conversation that would have happened without a critical player: the United States. But, as news of the meeting circulated on Sunday, it was indefinitely postponed, according to the Omani foreign minister. After months of private discussions on a complicated possible legal framework to reopen the strait that could allow Iran and Oman to collect fees, diplomats hoped the gathering could create some momentum for a deal. Saudi Arabia submitted amendments because it had concerns that the proposed language could effectively establish a new status quo that would not be acceptable to it or the other Gulf Cooperation Council states. 0:00 Iran-Oman talks on Strait of Hormuz called off 3:05 Diesel prices break records Where is it headed? 6:35 What is happening behind the scenes with the Iran-Oman talks?
