Oman's foreign minister reaffirmed on Tuesday his country's call for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict involving the US and Israel and Iran, urging a return to responsible regional diplomacy.

"There are off-ramps available; let’s use them," Badr Albusaidi said in a post on X.

The Gulf country had been mediating talks between Iran and the United States before Israeli and US airstrikes began on Saturday, plunging the region into a major crisis.
