'Only Option...' Oman Justifies Iran's Gulf Strikes, Blasts Israeli Takeover Of US Policy

Oman's foreign minister described Iran’s attacks on Gulf states as an "inevitable" reaction, terming the war as Trump administration’s “greatest miscalculation” “Iran’s retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbours was an inevitable, if deeply regrettable and completely unacceptable, result. Faced with what both Israel and America described as a war designed to terminate the Islamic Republic, this was probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership”, Badr Albusaidi said in an oped in published in the Economist. Albusaidi said the Feb. 28 attack on the Islamic Republic had come as a shock to Oman as Tehran and Washington had been "on the verge of a real deal." n18oc_crux | n18oc_world #iran #iranisraelwar #oman #middleeast #trump #israel #iranwar #cruxcollabwithcnn 0:00 INTRODUCTION 2:38 NATO CHIEF LAUDS US, ISRAEL STRIKES ON IRAN 4:12 MACRON SLAMS “RECKLESS ESCLATION” 6:58 OMAN FM SAYS RETALIATION IRAN’S “ONLY RATIONAL OPTION” 8:55 IRAN URGES COORDINATION AGAINST US-ISRAELI ‘DESTABILIZATION’ CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
