Iran-Oman Deal Signals Regional Proxy Diplomacy Amid US-Iran Crisis
Reports of an Iran-Oman agreement emerged as markets sought relief from Strait of Hormuz blockade fears, while Israel conducted airstrikes using Syrian, Iraqi, and Jordanian airspace. The diplomatic development shows regional powers actively managing escalation risks independent of US-Iran direct negotiations.
Middle Eastern states are increasingly bypassing traditional US-led frameworks to manage regional conflicts, signaling a shift toward multipolar crisis management mechanisms.
