Oman trying to reduce US-Iran tensions
Oman said yesterday it was trying to reduce spiralling tensions between the Unites States and Iran as the Pentagon confirmed it was considering deploying more troops to the region. The small but strategic sultanate, which lies just across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran at the entrance to the Gulf, has maintained good relations with Tehran through successive regional crises. Those relations have at times allowed it to play an important mediating role, including with the United States.
