Gulf states are divided over efforts to restart U.S.-Iran talks. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are urging the Trump administration to maintain economic pressure and sanctions on Tehran, while Qatar is pushing for negotiations, including a proposed seven-day pause in fighting to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia argues Iran should face more pressure before any deal, citing attacks on Gulf shipping and Houthi actions in Yemen. Qatar and Oman support a phased reopening of Hormuz and a diplomatic solution.
