What to know
- Oman postponed the first Iran-GCC foreign ministers meeting on the Strait of Hormuz since the war began, citing a need for consensus among Gulf states.
- Fresh Houthi missile and drone attacks on a Saudi airbase and pipeline deepened Saudi anger at Iran over its support for the Yemeni rebels, driving the postponement.
- Iran says the delay stems from the Yemen situation and denies interfering there; Bahrain had already refused to join over unresolved diplomatic ties.
- Oil prices jumped to a near four-month high as the diplomatic impasse and Houthi attacks disrupted the outlook for reopening the strait.
US and allied policy in the Middle East provoked the conflict and Iran is reacting to being attacked, not the other way around.
