Oman has strongly condemned Iranian attacks targeting energy facilities in the UAE and Qatar, as well as strikes on Saudi Arabia.
In a statement, Oman's Foreign Ministry affirmed the need to adhere to international laws and norms, and to refrain from targeting civilian facilities and global energy supplies.
It also called for de-escalation, an end to military operations, and the prioritisation of diplomatic solutions to address differences in a manner that safeguards security and stability and preserves the interests of the region and the world.
Oman also expressed its solidarity with Arab countries to take legitimate measures to safeguard its security and protect its territory, citizens and residents.
It also called on the United Nations Security Council to take the necessary actions to halt this war and its repercussions, emphasising that addressing the root causes of the conflict lies in dialogue, which is the optimal way to reach solutions and achieve lasting stability in the region.
