Oman reaffirms commitment to dialogue as Iran-U.S. talks begin

Muscat: Following a series of high-stakes consultations in Muscat, Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi reaffirmed the Sultanate’s unwavering commitment to its role as a regional mediator. Amidst the resumption of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, Sayyid Badr emphasized that dialogue remains the only viable mechanism for bridging the "diplomatic chasm" currently separating the two nations.

In a statement issued by the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister underscored Oman’s steadfast readiness to collaborate with both regional and international partners. The goal, he noted, is to forge consensual political solutions that not only resolve the immediate nuclear file but also resonate with the broader strategic objectives and aspirations of the Middle East.

Sayyid Badr extended his gratitude to neighboring countries for their constructive efforts in supporting this critical diplomatic endeavor. By providing a neutral and secure environment for these discussions, Oman aims to move beyond the recent period of regional volatility and toward a future defined by enduring security.

The Minister’s remarks reflect Oman's long-standing foreign policy of "non-interference and cooperation," positioning the Sultanate as an essential bridge in the international effort to prevent further military escalation. As technical and diplomatic teams begin their work, the "Muscat Channel" once again stands as the primary hope for a breakthrough in one of the world's most complex geopolitical challenges.
