Sayyid Badr bin Hamad al Busaidi called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomacy, noting off-ramps remain available despite the war that began February 28 with US and Israeli strikes killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has hit back with missiles and drones on Israel, US bases, and Gulf energy sites, causing over 787 deaths in Iran alone and strikes spilling into Lebanon and Oman. As a neutral mediator with recent progress in US-Iran nuclear talks, Oman faces its own attacks but persists in pushing for de-escalation amid rising oil prices and leadership turmoil in Tehran.

Key Takeaway

Oman's Foreign Minister thanked a global wave of support before renewing his plea for peace on day four of the deadly conflict.

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.
