Gulf nations are expressing skepticism about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran, according to a Reuters report. They reportedly fear the talks will not achieve major concessions from Tehran. The most optimistic outcome they foresee is an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint. This regional pessimism adds a new layer of doubt to the diplomatic process as the US-Iran ceasefire period nears its end.
