Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has met Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman and discussed bilateral relations, latest regional developments, and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving regional crises.
During a Sunday morning meeting at the al-Baraka Palace in the Omani capital Muscat, Iran’s top diplomat briefed the Omani monarch about the Iranian side’s viewpoints on the latest developments in the West Asia region following the US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic, and attempts to address them.
Araghchi also expressed Iran’s appreciation for the positions of the Sultanate of Oman in supporting dialogue and promoting efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in the region, particularly in light of current regional challenges.
For his part, the Omani Sultan explained his country’s views on advancing mediation efforts in a way that would enhance the chances of reaching sustainable political solutions and mitigate the impact of crises on the peoples of the region.
The Sultan also emphasized the importance of prioritizing dialogue and diplomacy in addressing issues, noting that such an approach would help consolidate the foundations of peace.
Tensions have been running high in the region in the wake of the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, which was launched on February 28 with the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several top military commanders.
Iran and the US reached a two-week ceasefire starting on April 8. Talks ensued in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, but stopped short of yielding an agreement amid the United States’ maximalist demands and its insistence on its unreasonable positions.
