Muscat: The Sultanate of Oman has strongly condemned the recent Israeli military aggression on the Islamic Republic of Iran, which targeted several nuclear and military facilities across the country, including in the capital Tehran.
The attacks resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of Iran’s armed forces chief of staff, the head of the Revolutionary Guards, and several top nuclear scientists.
In an official statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oman described the Israeli offensive as a grave escalation and a blatant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, international law, and the principles of sovereignty and non-aggression.
The statement warned that such actions further destabilise the region and deepen tensions.

Oman expressed particular concern over the timing of the strikes, noting that they occurred during a highly sensitive period when international efforts were underway to resume nuclear negotiations with Iran.
The Sultanate stressed that these developments threaten diplomatic efforts and risk widening regional conflict, with potential repercussions for global peace and security.
The Ministry reaffirmed Oman’s consistent position rejecting the use of force and advocating for peaceful solutions through dialogue, negotiation, and respect for international law.
It urged the international community to take firm and clear measures to de-escalate the situation and restore calm in the region.
In retaliation for the Israeli strikes, Iran reportedly launched over 100 drones targeting Israeli territory. According to the Israeli military, air defence systems intercepted the drones outside Israeli airspace.
Oman concluded by renewing its call for restraint from all parties and for the resolution of disputes through diplomatic means to preserve stability and avert further bloodshed in the Middle East.
