What happened
External Affairs Minister met with foreign ministers from Oman and Iran to discuss the Gulf conflict and the Strait of Hormuz situation. Iran's foreign minister proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait and restart ceasefire negotiations, but Donald Trump reportedly rejected it. Oman and Iran had discussed a two-lane, fee-based system for transit, but Donald Trump threatened Oman over this discussion, leading Iran to reject the Omani proposal.
