Oman summons Iran's ambassador after Gulf vessel attack, calls actions 'irresponsible'
NDTV—Oman formally summoned Iran's ambassador and issued a diplomatic protest following an attack on a vessel in Gulf waters that Muscat attributed to Iranian military actions. Oman's foreign ministry used the word 'irresponsible' to describe Iran's conduct in its official statement. The protest is significant coming from a Gulf state that has historically served as a quiet intermediary between Iran and the West.
