Oman’s Foreign Minister Tells the US some Hard Truths, because that’s What Friends Do

Oman's foreign minister criticizes the US-Israeli military action as unlawful and highlights regional economic disruptions and risks to peace efforts, urging renewed diplomacy.

  • Oman's Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi penned an article in The Economist slamming the US‑Israeli 'unlawful war' on Iran.
  • Before the outbreak on February 28th, negotiators met in Muscat and Geneva, and Albusaidi led indirect Washington‑Tehran talks, then flew to Washington to press for peace.
  • Tehran launched waves of strikes on Gulf neighbours, hitting Dubai and Doha and disrupting trade while driving up oil and gas prices.
  • Oman has been targeted in suspected Iranian strikes while its diplomatic efforts appear to be running dry, and economic fallout may force revision of data‑centre hub plans.
  • Albusaidi warned the United States has lost control of its foreign policy and argued neither America nor Israel will likely get what they want, urging resumption of bilateral negotiations.
