Discussions on the future of the Strait of Hormuz could soon gain momentum. According to Reuters, Qatar's Prime Minister is in Muscat on Wednesday to initiate, alongside Oman, a dialogue process involving Iran, the Gulf states and Iraq on the reopening and future operation of the strategic waterway.
