Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for increased pressure on supporters of the Zionist regime to end all aggression and stop its "killing machine".
Pezeshkian thanked Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman on Wednesday, during a phone call, for the country's stance on the ongoing Israeli violations in Gaza and Lebanon. He also urged for "greater unity" among Muslim countries.
He said, “If Muslim countries act as one, the Zionist regime will not dare commit violations so easily, nor will the US and Western countries be able to support it."
Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran's commitment to deepening its relationship with Muscat, emphasizing that ties with Oman are a key priority for the Islamic Republic and align with its broader strategy of enhancing cooperation with neighboring countries.

Sultan Haitham bin Tariq praised Iran's position on regional matters, particularly regarding Gaza and Lebanon, and emphasized the importance of Western nations avoiding double standards in their approach to these issues.
He further stressed that backing the rights of the oppressed people in Gaza and Lebanon is a key priority for Oman, stating, "Oman has consistently held that the ongoing support by Western nations for Israel's crimes is neither acceptable nor justifiable in any manner."
