Muscat: Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi has said that Israel persuaded the United States to go to war with Iran, describing the ongoing conflict as a “grave miscalculation” and a “catastrophe”, according to a report by The Guardian.
Writing in the British news and current affairs Journal The Economist, Albusaidi said Washington had “lost control of its own foreign policy” and was drawn into the conflict despite the possibility of securing a nuclear agreement with Tehran.
He said Iran and the United States had been close to an understanding during nuclear talks held in Geneva in February.
“It was a shock but not a surprise” when the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran just hours after discussions that had made peace “really possible”, he wrote.
According to Albusaidi, Tehran had offered concessions, including limits on uranium enrichment, in exchange for sanctions relief, and further negotiations had been planned before military action began.
He alleged that Israel’s leadership convinced US President Donald Trump to join the war.
“The American administration’s greatest miscalculation… was allowing itself to be drawn into this war,” he wrote, adding that the conflict was “not America’s war” and that there was no clear outcome in which both the US and Israel would achieve their objectives.
Albusaidi described the broader confrontation as a “catastrophe”, particularly for Gulf nations. He said there was little indication that negotiations would resume soon and urged both sides to return to dialogue.
“For Israel to achieve its stated objective will require a long military campaign,” he cautioned, warning that such a course could draw the US deeper into the conflict.
The Omani minister also termed the military strikes by the US and Israel “illegal”, saying countries involved in the attacks were in breach of international law as long as hostilities continued.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected claims that Israel had pushed Washington into the conflict. “Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do?” he said in response.
Oman has been among Gulf countries advocating a diplomatic solution, while other regional states have expressed concern that the war could destabilise energy supplies and regional security.
