We told you Monday was not a deal. Sunday night took the Monday.
Reuters, Sept. 13, late Sunday: Oman’s foreign minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, posted that the regional meeting — Iran and Gulf states, set for Monday in Oman over Hormuz shipping — had been postponed “in the interests of consensus.” He wrote that Oman remains committed to dialogue that supports stability. Iran’s Fars news agency, citing an Iranian foreign-ministry official Sunday evening, said some regional countries requested the delay, that Tehran and Muscat decided jointly, and that the two sides would pick a suitable date later.
Iraq had said it would send a delegation. A Gulf official had told Reuters that Saudi Arabia and Qatar would be represented by their foreign ministers. Bahrain had already said it would not meet with any Iranians. A senior Iranian official had told Reuters on Saturday the session would probably not yield a signed reopen. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: even an Iran–Oman understanding does not reopen the strait until Washington meets Tehran’s demands.
A postponement is not a corridor. It is not a collapse we can date. Morning’s UKMTO fire still stands as the strike file. This file is the empty chair.
What this means for you
If you needed a Monday hall, it is not Monday. If you needed Hormuz open, wait for text. If you hold oil, that is the other unused file. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: Postponed. Not a deal. Not a reopen. Not tomorrow.
