Muscat: An official spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry has voiced the Sultanate of Oman’s strong condemnation of the escalating tensions in the region, sparked by Israel’s unlawful missile strike against the Islamic Republic of Iran on 13 June and the subsequent cycle of retaliatory attacks.
This includes Iran’s recent missile strike targeting sovereign sites in the State of Qatar—an act Oman deems unacceptable and reprehensible, as it violates the sovereignty of a GCC member state, contravenes the principles of good neighbourliness, and risks further destabilising the region. Such actions only deepen conflict, threaten security, and endanger the lives and stability of the region’s people.
The spokesperson reiterated Oman’s full solidarity with Qatar and its right to take all necessary measures to ensure its security and stability.
Additionally, Oman urges an immediate halt to all military and missile operations, calling instead for dialogue, peaceful negotiations, and strict adherence to international law to address the root causes of the crisis and reach a fair and lasting resolution through legitimate means.
