Muscat

As the United States security umbrella falls in the Middle East, in Asia, in Europe, as Donald Trump has lost all credibility, not just for himself, but sadly for the United States, a new security architecture globally is forming, and we see that being built around China.

So on Monday, what's happening in Oman, in Muscat, there will be a meeting recognizing Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's doing a deal with Oman.

Iran's not gonna open up the Strait of Hormuz until the United States complies with its obligations under the MOU.

Number four, Iran announced that it is doing a deal with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which it is going to be announcing on Monday.

There's going to be a meeting in Muscat in Oman, where all of these Arab nations are invited, and this is going to be a massive meeting where Iran's going to say, here is what we and Oman agree to regarding who controls the Strait of Hormuz.

This is the route, the Iranian route, the only legitimate route, and Iran is going to say, look, once the United States gets back to the Memorandum of Understanding, the economy's open.

Everybody can use the Iran route.

Bloomberg's Dan Williams says that attack comes a day before Tehran seeks to brief the Gulf on a potential deal to manage shipping there.

Tomorrow, Monday, there is a meeting of Gulf Arab foreign ministers in Muscat.

It's not actually clear how many will attend, and what we know is the Bahrainis, for one, are not planning to attend.

They're still upset at the, uh, pain they suffered at the hands of Iran during the, uh, the high points of this conflict.

We only have a few minutes left, but I do wanna ask you about another place that's struggling to find an off switch, and that's the conflict in Iran.

As this conflict continues, we have this BRICS summit happening over the weekend in India with leaders of Middle East countries, South Asian countries, and Iran present, and then possibly another meeting with some Gulf allies and Iran, uh, maybe in Muscat, uh, tomorrow.

Where is the US in this? Do you think America is doing enough? Are you confident in Jared Witkoff in, um...

[laughs] As Jared Witkoff.

I apologize, we only have a few minutes left, but I do want to ask you about another place that's struggling to find an off switch, and that's the conflict in Iran.

Where is the U.S. in this? Do you think America is doing enough? Are you confident in Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as negotiators to end this war or do they need to be replaced?

No, look, I think the world and in particular the Middle East has concluded that President Trump had no idea what he was doing when he launched this war of choice against Iran.

The first such meeting since the Israeli-U.S. war on Iran erupted.

One primary purpose of the gathering is for Muscat and Tehran to formally unveil an agreement on a new route for ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Amwaj.media has learned.

Amwaj reports the September 14 Oman meeting is on, with GCC states, Iran and Iraq gathering for the first time since the war began.

The stated purpose is narrow, formally unveiling the Iran-Oman shipping route agreement.

A ministerial unveiling doesn't tell a shipowner what the insurance premium will look like Monday morning.

The Gulf talks we left at now have a clearer purpose, unveiling an Iran-Oman root deal.

Amwaj says Muscat initiated it, Tehran agreed, and Saudi Arabia helped bring the broader Gulf bloc in.

Oman gets the diplomatic table.
