Gulf states were preparing to meet Iran via Oman in Friday's file. [1] The FT filed a table, not a deal. [1] This paper printed a table, not a corridor. Sunday has no ministerial in fetched copy and no postponement — that hour belongs to Monday. A table is not a corridor. Print the table. Do not print a signed paper. Do not print a Salalah delay.

Leave Monday's postponement to Monday. Print the table. Print not a corridor.

Print the table. Sunday is not a postponed ministerial. Friday's table remains a table. Print the table as Sunday's named Muscat hold. A Hormuz arrangement still unwritten is still unwritten. Print the table as still not a deal. Print no postponement as still Sunday's named fact. Set tables hold; Sunday's holds.

Oman's mediation franchise rests on hosting talks others cannot convene. A table with no date is still a table. Sunday keeps it set.

Set tables stay set; Sunday's stays. Staying set is the update. Dates wait on conveners.

Dates wait on conveners; Sunday keeps a table with no date. Not a postponement. Muscat hosts what others cannot convene.

Gulf capitals still have a Muscat table, not a signed Hormuz paper. Sunday carries no ministerial and no Salalah delay. An undated table is not a shipping corridor. Hosting talks does not close the strait.
Gulf capitals still have a table, not a signed Hormuz paper. Sunday reprints the host. The strait stays open on this clock.
