Iran says Saudi Arabia requested postponement of Hormuz meeting
Iran said a planned meeting with Gulf countries in Oman on Monday to discuss the Strait of Hormuz was postponed at the request of Saudi Arabia, which cited the war in Yemen.
"It is true that Saudi Arabia asked for this meeting to be postponed," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei. "Invoking the Yemeni issue as the reason is a false pretext," he added at a press conference in Tehran attended by AFP.
