Omani ambassador to Washington said Oman is ready to mediate between Iran and the US for solving tensions.
According to the US media, Hunaina Al-Mughairy addressed the
current heightened tension between Tehran and Washington following the US
administration’s decision to end sanctions waivers for Iranian oil imports,
saying that Muscat would be willing to help mediate the crisis if the sides
would find such support helpful, IRNA reported.
He reiterated the fact that Oman does not interfere in the foreign policies of
neighboring countries.
“We don’t interfere in any country’s internal policies,” he noted.
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday that Iran will give a 60-day
moratorium to the states parties to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)
to remedy their breaches and restore Iran’s interests enshrined by the
international deal.
Iranian Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) in a statement announced that
Iran has stopped some of its commitments under the JCPOA as of May 8, 2019.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a message said “On
May 8 2018, US withdrew from #JCPOA, violated #UNSCR 2231 & pressured
others—incl #E3—to do the same After a year of patience, Iran stops measures
that US has made impossible to continue Our action is within the terms of
JCPOA.”
