Iran/Oman: Dialogue

Muscat has maintained its policy of regular consultations with the Iranian government, promoting rapprochement and acting as a back channel for other allies to connect with the leadership. Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al-Said sent a cable of congratulations to president-elect Hassan Rouhani after his election, and on 20 June, the Islamic Republic’s deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs Hoseyn Amir-Abdollahian held talks with Omani foreign minister Yusuf Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah in Muscat.
