What happened
Iran stated that the Strait of Hormuz is blocked and remains under its full control, citing the need for warnings about using what it described as an 'illegal route.' Representatives from Iran and Gulf states were expected to meet in Oman to advance a framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to regular tanker traffic. However, the talks were postponed to ensure appropriate conditions for constructive dialogue.

Disputes over nuclear site inspections and a shipping blockade in the Strait of Hormuz escalate, involving international bodies and political figures.
