Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi has called the war in Iran Trump administration’s “greatest miscalculation” and claimed that “America has lost control of its own foreign policy.”

He also urged Washington’s allies to help pull it out of “this unwanted entanglement,” writing in an op-ed in The Economist. Albusaidi said that the United States and Iran had come close to reaching a deal twice in nine months.

“It was a shock but not a surprise when on February 28th – just hours after the latest and most substantive talks – Israel and America again launched an unlawful military strike against the peace that had briefly appeared possible,” he wrote.

Addressing Iran's attacks on neighbouring countries, he said Iran’s retaliation against what it described as American targets in neighbouring countries was an “inevitable, if deeply regrettable and completely unacceptable, result”.
