"warned of the dangerous consequences of provocative US actions in the Persian Gulf - Iran's Foreign Ministry"

Tehran, April 14

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday held a phone call with Oman's Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Albusaidi to discuss the latest developments regarding the ongoing "ceasefire and negotiations" between Iran and the US, according to the Iranian media outlet, Mehr news agency.

According to Mehr, Araghchi underscored Tehran's position on regional stability. The news agency reported, "Araghchi emphasised the Islamic Republic of Iran's commitment to preserving regional peace and stability with the cooperation and participation of all countries in the region and away from destructive US interventions."

Omani Foreign Minister Albusaidi, for his part, according to Mehr, expressed hope that peace and stability "would return to the region as soon as possible."

The news agency also reported that the discussions come amid continuing tensions following the conflict between the US and Iran, despite previous rounds of negotiations. Oman, which had acted as a mediator in the talks occuring before February 28, said that the conflict broke out even though a potential agreement had been "within reach."

Earlier, Araghchi warned that "provocative" actions by the United States could have "dangerous consequences" for global peace and security, during a phone call with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on Monday, according to CNN.

During the conversation, Araghchi reviewed the latest regional developments following the announcement of a ceasefire and subsequent Iran-US talks held in Islamabad (April 11-12).

He "warned of the dangerous consequences of provocative US actions in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz for regional and global peace and security," Iran's foreign ministry said, according to CNN.

In a statement, Russia's foreign ministry said Lavrov welcomed the two-week Iran ceasefire and emphasised that Moscow believes the agreements extend to Lebanon as well.

Lavrov also said Russia remains ready to "help find solutions that would overcome the consequences of the unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against Iran," the foreign ministry said, according to CNN.

According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs official X post, Lavrov emphasised the importance of preventing a recurrence of armed confrontation and once again confirmed Russia's unwavering readiness to assist in resolving the crisis.

While peace is always welcome, I find Iran's statement about "destructive US interventions" a bit rich. Both sides need to de-escalate. The constant tension affects global oil prices and our economy here in India.

Good to see diplomatic channels are open. The Strait of Hormuz is a lifeline. Any conflict there would be a disaster for countries like India that depend on that route. Jai Hind.

Interesting to see Russia's role here, mentioning Lebanon. The geopolitics are so complex. As an expat in Delhi, I just hope for peace. The world has enough conflicts already.

Oman is a trusted friend to many. Their quiet diplomacy is effective. India should also use its good relations with all parties to encourage dialogue. Our foreign policy of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (the world is one family) is needed now.

The report says an agreement was "within reach" before. Such a shame. So much depends on this—from fuel prices to our projects in Chabahar. Hope they find a lasting solution this time.
