[The meeting between Iran and regional countries postponed, the Strait of Hormuz faces dual political and military risks] On September 14th, Oman’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the evening of the 13th local time that the regional meeting originally scheduled to be held in Salalah, a city in southern Oman on the 14th, has been postponed. The specific date of the postponement has not yet been announced. Iran previously stated that it would inform the Gulf countries at the meeting of the results of the two countries’ consultations on the navigation issue in the Strait of Hormuz. Expert analysis believes that the current Strait of Hormuz carries dual risks of political contention and military conflict. The United States and Iran have serious differences on relevant issues and lack mutual trust. The confrontation between the two countries will be difficult to end in the short term. In this context, regional countries, especially the Gulf Arab countries, need to unify their stance and engage in more communication and contact with Iran. However, it is still difficult to resolve related disputes in the short term. (CCTV News)
