Sultan of Oman Arrives in Tehran

Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said arrived today, Sunday, in the Iranian capital Tehran for a two-day visit, following an official invitation from Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. The visit comes amid escalating tensions between Tehran and the West regarding Iran's nuclear program, allegations of providing drones to Russia in its war in Ukraine, as well as human rights violations in Iran. Iran's ambassador to Muscat, Ali Najafi, told Tasnim News Agency that the upcoming visit by Haitham bin Tariq to Tehran is considered a reciprocal visit in response to President Raisi's last visit to Muscat.
