Oman welcomes election of Bahrain as non-permanent member of UN Security Council

Oman condemns Israeli aggression against Iran

13 June 2025

The Foreign Ministry expresses the Sultanate of Oman's strong condemnation of the brutal military aggression launched by Israel against the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which targeted sovereign facilities and caused casualties.

Oman considers this action a dangerous and reckless escalation that constitutes a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and the principles of international law. It also represents unacceptable and ongoing aggressive behaviour that undermines the foundations of stability in the region.

This attack comes at a highly sensitive time, as international efforts to resume nuclear negotiations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States are intensifying. This clearly reveals a deliberate intent to obstruct the diplomatic process and ignite a wider conflict that will have dire consequences for regional and international peace.

While Oman holds Israel responsible for this escalation and its repercussions, it calls on the international community to take a clear and firm stance to halt this dangerous approach, which threatens to preclude diplomatic solutions and to undermine the security and stability of the region.

The Foreign Ministry reiterates the Sultanate of Oman's firm position that security is not built through aggression, but rather through dialogue and peaceful means, with respect for the sovereignty of states and the application of international law and justice.
