Oman intensifies diplomacy to curb regional escalation, enhance international stability
Muscat : The Sultanate of Oman continues its relentless diplomatic efforts to contain the dangerous escalation in the region and prevent the escalation of tensions resulting from repeated Israeli attacks. This is based on its established approach of promoting constructive dialogue, adhering to international law, and advocating for peaceful solutions as the basis for achieving regional security and stability.
These efforts embody the Sultanate of Oman's strategic vision of building bridges of trust between international parties and its pivotal role as a trusted mediator in regional crises.
Key Diplomatic Activities
On Sunday, under the leadership of His Excellency Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Oman's Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Sultanate participated in the 48th Extraordinary Meeting of the Ministerial Council of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC). This virtual meeting, chaired by Kuwait, focused on rapid regional developments.
The meeting concluded with a joint statement that strongly condemned Israeli attacks on Iranian territory, deeming them a blatant violation of national sovereignty and international law.

Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi, continued his intensive telephone calls and consultations with counterparts from allied and friendly nations, as well as key international partners like Kaya Kallas, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

With all eyes on Israel-Iran conflict, Gazans continue to endure bombardment, blockade
Gaza: As the military confrontation between Israel and Iran escalates, residents of the Gaza Strip watch anxiously, fearing the renewed tensions could further deteriorate their already dire humanitarian situation and push their longstanding plight even further from the global spotlight. In Gaza City, Ibrahim al-Faryani, a Palestinian Authority employee in his 40s, closely follows reports of cross-border strikes. "Now, global attention has shifted to Tehran and Tel Aviv, and Gaza has fallen off the media radar," al-Faryani said. "This loss of international focus may allow Israel to escalate violations here without scrutiny or accountability." Since hostilities erupted between Israel and Iran on June 13, residents have reported a sharp drop in humanitarian aid reaching Gaza, citing continued closures of border crossings as a key obstacle. "The humanitarian situation is deteriorating rapidly," said Mohammed Al-Emawi, a university student from Gaza's Shuja'iyya neighborhood. "No aid is entering. Hospitals are running out of basic supplies, and yet we receive little international coverage." He warned that global preoccupation with the Iran-Israel conflict could overshadow the protracted crisis in Gaza, which has already endured months of conflict and blockade. Amid widespread anxiety, some see the broader conflict as a potential opening for Gaza to gain international attention -- and possibly inclusion in any future regional agreements. "Perhaps this war will reshape the region," said Salem Subaih, another Gaza City resident. "If a major international agreement emerges, we hope Gaza will be included." Adel Samara, a political analyst based in the West Bank, said the Iran-Israel conflict has a dual impact on Gaza. "On one hand, Gaza suffers from reduced media attention and worsening humanitarian conditions. On the other hand, this war might offer an opportunity to include Gaza in any future regional arrangement, especially if global powers become involved in de-escalation efforts," Samara told Xinhua. He added that Palestinian factions are watching the situation closely, aware that shifting regional dynamics increasingly shape Gaza's position. A Hamas official, speaking to Xinhua on condition of anonymity, said the confrontation underscores the interconnected nature of regional security and politics. "Gaza is not isolated from its surroundings. We are monitoring developments and managing the situation carefully to avoid unnecessary escalation," the official said, adding that "the resistance is taking a rational approach, focused on protecting the Palestinian people." Regarding ongoing talks on a prisoner exchange with Israel, the official noted that negotiations continue under international mediation but acknowledged that the latest tensions have slowed progress. "Given the current situation, it is only natural that the pace and level of communication are affected," he said. Amid these shifting dynamics, many Gazans are simply calling for an end to the violence and improvements to their daily lives. "It is time for these wars to stop," said Muhannad Abu Rabie, a Gaza City resident. "We want to live in safety. We want electricity, water, medicine -- basic human rights. We are tired of being collateral damage in conflicts we have no control over."

Cross-border attacks continue between Iran, Israel amid diplomatic push for de-escalation
Tehran: The exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran continued on Tuesday in a dangerous escalation threatening the region, amid regional and international efforts to contain the crisis. Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported on Tuesday that an Israeli drone launched an attack with four missiles on an industrial area in the city of Tabriz, northwestern Iran. The agency stated, "An Israeli aggression drone targeted an industrial zone in Tabriz with four missiles, resulting in an explosion in the area." It added that Iranian air defences continue to intercept Israeli targets in the city's airspace. Meanwhile, an Iranian security official announced on Tuesday the downing of an Israeli drone in the Kashan area of Isfahan province, near the Natanz nuclear facility. Akbar Salahi, the security deputy of Isfahan's governor, told reporters that locally made "3 Khordad" air defence systems intercepted an Israeli drone in one of the defensive layers around the Natanz nuclear site, in addition to shooting down several small flying objects in Isfahan. The fortified Natanz facility had previously been targeted in multiple attacks by Israel last Friday, leading to radioactive and chemical contamination that "did not leak outside the facility," according to Iranian authorities. In another development, an Israeli strike on the headquarters of Iran's state television in Tehran on Monday killed at least three people, according to a toll broadcast by the station on Tuesday. The channel reported that "three television employees were killed and others were wounded in the Israeli attack," without specifying the number of injuries. On the other hand, Israeli media reported that Iran launched a missile barrage this morning, hitting several areas in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Herzliya, causing casualties and material damage. Israeli outlets stated that Herzliya came under intense missile fire, with between 20 and 30 missiles launched from Iran, one of which directly struck an eight-storey residential building, causing significant damage and thick plumes of smoke. Israeli emergency services reported that 10 people were injured while heading to shelters following the missile launches. Tehran and other Iranian cities have been under widespread attack by Israeli forces since last Friday, with Iran responding with repeated missile strikes on Israeli territory. Amid the escalating tensions, GCC Secretary-General Jassim Al-Budaiwi discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and de-escalation efforts with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. The GCC Secretariat General stated in a statement on Tuesday that the two officials reviewed several regional and international issues of mutual concern, primarily the developments in the war between Israel and Iran and ongoing efforts to achieve calm and enhance security and stability. Al-Budaiwi affirmed the GCC states' commitment to supporting international and UN efforts, as reflected in the statement issued by the 48th extraordinary ministerial meeting of the GCC held on Monday regarding regional developments. He stressed that the ministerial statement emphasised the necessity of an immediate ceasefire to preserve regional security and stability, urging all parties to work jointly toward de-escalation and adopt diplomacy as an effective means to resolve conflicts while exercising maximum restraint to spare the region and its people the dangers of war. For his part, Guterres commended the GCC's positive role in supporting de-escalation efforts and promoting regional security, according to the statement. He reiterated the UN's aspiration to strengthen cooperation with the GCC in various priority areas. Separately, leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) industrial nations called for de-escalation and a "broader cessation of hostilities" in the Middle East. In a statement following a meeting in Canada last night (Monday), the G7 leaders said, "We, the G7 leaders, reaffirm our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East, as well as the importance of protecting civilians."
