Oman Foreign Minister Urges US Not to Engage in War with Iran

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi.

Badr Al-Busaidi, the mediator in the ongoing indirect talks between Washington and Tehran on the nuclear issue, has reacted to the military operations by Israel and the United States in Iran. Oman's foreign minister has called on the United States to refrain from getting involved in the ongoing conflict.

Israel launched its attack early on Saturday (February 28) amid ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran over the nuclear program. The joint US-Israeli operation targeted more than 30 facilities in Tehran, including the residence of the Iranian president. Local sources say the attacks are still ongoing.

In response, Iran launched a counterattack on Israel a few hours later. US bases in various countries in the Middle East have been targeted. The targets are Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates and the fifth US base in Bahrain.

In a post on social media amid the intense conflict, Al Busaidi said he was “disappointed” by today’s attack. “Active and sincere negotiations have been undermined again,” the foreign minister said. “This will not serve the interests of the United States or the cause of world peace. And I pray for the innocent who will be affected.”

Calling on the United States not to get involved in this conflict, he said, “I urge the United States to refrain. This is not your war.”

Indirect talks between Washington and Tehran began earlier this month under the mediation of Oman on the Iran nuclear issue. Representatives of the two countries then held a second round of indirect talks on February 17 and a third round in Geneva, Switzerland, last Thursday (February 26). The indirect talks were scheduled to resume next Monday in Vienna, Austria.

US Senator Edward J. Markey.

Influential US Senator Edward J. Markey has called President Donald Trump's military strike on Iran "illegal and unconstitutional".

In a statement, he strongly criticized the operation and described it as dangerous to the American people.

Senator Markey said, "No congressional authorization was sought for this strike. Trump's illegal action increases the risk of a full-scale regional war, which poses an extreme threat to US troops and civilians in the region."

He accused Trump of constantly exaggerating the nuclear threat from Iran. Even after Trump's claim to destroy Iran's nuclear program through the "Operation Midnight Hammer" strike, he is unreasonably exaggerating this threat.

Markey noted that Secretary of State Marco Rubio himself has admitted that Iran is not currently enriching uranium. According to him, there was an opportunity for diplomatic talks before the attack and that the path is still open.

Senator Markey added, "This crisis is Trump's own making. Americans don't want another endless war in the Middle East. They don't support sending young men and women to fight abroad while our people struggle to pay for healthcare. If Trump doesn't stop this war now, Congress will have to stop it. No more war with Iran."
