During the visit, the two countries are expected to sign a series of bilateral agreements. Discussions will also address broader regional issues, including joint efforts to promote peace and stability in the Gulf and the wider Middle East.
President Pezeshkian has called on regional nations to unite in confronting Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, which he condemned as "criminal behavior." The visit underscores Iran's diplomatic push for a coordinated regional response.
So far, Oman has already facilitated five rounds of backchannel talks between Iran and the United States to revive a nuclear agreement to replace the 2015 deal that U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned.
