Saudi Arabia is arranging a peace summit with Iran while Qatar seeks to start talks on resuming shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Semafor reported. The moves highlight a split among Gulf states over how to respond to the end of the US-Iran war. The UAE, which suffered the vast majority of Iranian attacks during the conflict, shows less interest in rapid reconciliation.
A diplomatic adviser to the Emirati president warned against imposing a fait accompli born of aggression, citing damage to the country's standing as a business hub. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister ahead of his June 25 visit to Bahrain. He aims to shore up support for the interim truce among the divided allies.
