Gulf Dialogue Initiatives

In light of heightened tensions in the Gulf, a diplomatic outreach plan is being developed to establish a security dialogue under UN auspices for the Strait of Hormuz. Previous conflicts, notably the Iranian drone attack on the M/T AL SALMI, intensified concerns over maritime security and regional instability. Efforts to stabilize relations include reopening Kuwaiti-Iraqi consular channels and enhancing media monitoring to curb inflammatory rhetoric. Although recent UN vetoes by Russia and China pose challenges, regional actors continue to seek manageable risks rather than immediate escalation.
