According to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein met with Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy in Cairo on Monday. They discussed regional security tensions and disruptions to navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The statement noted that both sides reviewed the potential economic impacts on Arab nations, particularly Iraq, due to these disruptions, highlighting the strait’s significance for global trade and energy supplies.
Hussein stressed the importance of opening dialogue to reduce tensions between Tehran and Washington, suggesting that the Arab League could play a constructive role in this process. Fahmy underscored the need for peaceful diplomacy and dialogue to address crises and expressed readiness to support efforts to ease regional tensions. This meeting took place during the regular session of the Arab League ministerial council.
Tensions escalated when Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities on February 28, 2026. In response, Iran targeted Israeli and U.S. assets in the region with a wave of missile and drone strikes, strengthening its control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran also imposed restrictions on vessels passing through the Strait, while the U.S. military conducted a naval blockade targeting ships traveling to and from Iranian ports. On June 18, the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities in the region. This MOU required both nations to engage in negotiations to reach a final agreement within 60 days, which concluded on August 17. However, recent tensions have left the future of these talks uncertain.
