Oman on Wednesday said it regretted the “unacceptable” attacks on Saudi missions in Iran, after some Gulf nations downgraded diplomatic ties according to the official ONA news on January 6th, 2016.
The sultanate “expressed its deep regret” over the attacks, which it described as “unacceptable” in a foreign ministry statement published by the official news agency.
Oman stressed the “need to find new rules that prohibit any form of interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The Omani reaction comes four days after protesters torched Riyadh’s embassy and its consulate in Iran.
The assaults on its missions prompted Riyadh on Sunday to break off diplomatic ties with Iran and order its diplomats to leave the kingdom. Saudi allies Bahrain and Sudan have followed suit and the United Arab Emirates downgraded its ties with Tehran.
