A planned meeting between Iran and Gulf Arab countries in Oman over the future of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was postponed Sunday, delaying efforts to reach a regional arrangement over the critical waterway. Iran has sought a role in regulating traffic through Hormuz and potentially collecting fees from vessels, while Gulf states have resisted giving Tehran control over an international shipping route. No new date for the talks has been announced.
