Iran confirmed the holding of a meeting with Gulf countries on the Strait of Ormuz on Monday. The encounter takes place in a context of military escalation in the region.
After the start of the US and Israel offensive against the Islamic Republic, on February 28, Iranian forces placed commercial shipping through the Strait of Ormuz under military threat.
Approximately 20 percent of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passed through this strait before the start of the war, making the region strategically crucial for global energy markets.
