GCC-Iran maritime de-escalation dialogue
Series of intermittent dialogues between Gulf Cooperation Council members and Iran on maritime security in the Persian Gulf and approaches to the Strait of Hormuz. Specific initiatives have come from Iran (the "Hormuz Peace Endeavour"), from the UAE and Oman bilaterally, and from broader GCC frameworks. None have produced a binding regional security architecture; the dialogues have reduced tactical incidents.
