Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi has called for an extension of the fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran. In a post on social media platform X, he urged all parties to pursue compromise to avoid further conflict, according to Al Jazeera. Al-Busaidi said that achieving success may require difficult concessions, but those would be far less painful than the suffering caused by war and failure.

He noted that before the recent escalation, he had discussed the situation with Vice President Vance, and both he and former President Trump had expressed a sincere and firm desire to prevent conflict. Oman had previously played a key mediating role between Washington and Tehran, but talks collapsed after US-Israeli strikes in late February.

Amid heightened tensions, new diplomatic efforts are underway to maintain and extend the ceasefire, with Oman once again advocating for restraint and dialogue.
