During a phone call on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi conveyed Iran's openness to serious initiatives aimed at halting the escalation of tensions and restoring stability. This was communicated in a statement from the Omani Foreign Ministry, which also noted Araqchi's appreciation for Oman’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to defuse the current crisis and return to a path of dialogue and negotiation. He attributed the heightened state of tension and fear in the region to the US-Israeli attacks on his country.

In response, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi reiterated Muscat's commitment to calling for a ceasefire and the need for resuming diplomatic negotiations that address the conflict's challenges and meet the demands of all parties involved. The statement emphasized the Omani government's persistent efforts to mediate in the region, promoting dialogue as the key solution.

Additionally, Badr al-Busaidi urged Iran to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could undermine good neighborly relations. This diplomatic engagement signals a potential opportunity for easing strains in the region, amid increasing calls for a collaborative approach to conflict resolution.
