Lack of Regional Consensus an Impediment to Hormuz Peace Plan

The prerequisite to the realization of Hormuz Peace Endeavour—an initiative aimed at ensuring Persian Gulf security through cooperation among regional governments—is a shift in the policies of regional countries, an expert on international relations said. 
“Until a move is made by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain toward rejecting US influence and promoting stability in the region, the possibility of the peace plan’s success remains low,” Mohammad Sadeq Koushki said in an interview with Iranian Diplomacy.
The Hormuz peace initiative, which was proposed by President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations General Assembly in September, aims to help defuse regional tensions, particularly in the Persian Gulf.
