Iran Says Ready to Work with Oman to End Yemen Bloodshed

Speaking in a Sunday meeting with Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi in Tehran, President Rouhani said Iran and Oman shoulder a heavy responsibility towards the chaotic region.

Rouhani said the two governments must work towards promoting peace and stability in West Asia, as an unstable region harms its inhabitants the most.

The president expressed hope the two countries could help restore calm to Yemen and end bombardments and bloodshed in the poorest Arab country, as the humanitarian situation in the country is grave.

Bin Alawi, for his part, thanked the Islamic Republic for its efforts to strengthen peace and stability in the region, emphasizing the need for putting an end to various conflicts in West Asia.

“The clashes in Yemen have brought nothing but chaos and destruction for the region. We must try to end bloodshed there as soon as possible and provide humanitarian aid for the nation,” bin Alawi said.

Since 2015, Yemen has been the scene of a Saudi military campaign, which Riyadh says aims to push Houti fighters out of the Yemen capital Sana’a and restore to power the fugitive president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The Saudi campaign has left thousands dead and millions on the verge of starvation.

Tehran, Muscat Resolved to Enhance Bilateral Ties
During the talks, Rouhani and the Omani diplomat also discussed bilateral issues. The Iranian President said Tehran is bent on strengthening bonds of friendship with Oman, stressing the need for greater efforts to boost “brotherly” relations between Tehran and Muscat.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to develop all-out relations with Oman,” Rouhani said.

The president added Iran and Oman ought to encourage entrepreneurs and businessmen to form partnerships and implement joint projects, through removing obstacles to banking relations and facilitating trips between the two countries.
“There are great opportunities in Iran for investment in various sectors, particularly petrochemicals, energy, steel, aluminum, railroads and ports, that Omani investors can take advantage of,” Rouhani said.

In turn, Bin Alawi said Oman has always sought close relations with Tehran and is satisfied with the harmonious course of relations between the two countries in recent years.

The top Omani diplomat said his government agrees that there is need for encouraging Iranian and Omani businessmen to work together, and is considering measures to pave the way for broader economic and cultural relations.

Trump’s Decision on Embassy Relocation Doomed to Failure: Palestine

“Trump and his successors would fail to move their embassy to Jerusalem, just like their predecessors,” Salah Al-Zawawi said.

Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel early December, saying the US embassy will soon be moved to the city after over 20 years of foot-dragging by previous US presidents.

Trump’s decision was met with widespread condemnation from the international community, with protests taking place across the Middle East, as well as in Malaysia, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and South Africa.

Much of the Europe also saw large protests, including the UK, Germany, Macedonia, Austria and France, as well as demonstration in major US cities.

The embassy is due to be moved in May and will temporarily be hosted in the Jerusalem Al-Quds’ Arnona neighborhood, recognized as occupied territory under international law, until another building is constructed.

Speaking to the Persian-language ICANA, Zawawi referred to famous remarks by the late founder of Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini that Israel is a “cancerous tumor” that must be wiped out, saying the “fake regime” will eventually collapse, despite strong backing for Israel by western states.

In August 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini declared the last Friday of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, calling on Muslims across the world to hold street rallies in protest to the long-standing occupation of the Palestine.

“The declaration shows this Muslim leader well understood the situation [of Palestine] about 4o years ago, when there were only 10 Zionist settlements [in the West Bank]”, he said.

From 1979 through 2016, the number of Israeli settlements established in the West Bank reached over 200.
