Oman calls for "restraint" and dialogue in the Middle East conflict

Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi called Saturday for "restraint" and dialogue among parties in the Middle East conflict, offering Omani mediation efforts. Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, al-Busaidi urged settlement of disputes through political solutions while reaffirming Oman's commitment to securing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The statement came after US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal for a truce that could have reopened the strategic waterway within seven days.
