'This war is not of their making,' Omani foreign minister says of Iran

Oman's foreign minister, Badr al-Busaidi, publicly declared that the US-Israeli war on Iran is not of Tehran's making. As the mediator in the final hours of negotiations, Busaidi's comments contrast sharply with other Gulf states who have been angered by Iran's retaliatory attacks on regional infrastructure. He expressed deep concern over the war's economic impact and stated that Oman is working to arrange safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The minister had previously written that Iran's retaliation was an inevitable, though regrettable, result of the war declared by the US and Israel.
