Oman has long enjoyed a pragmatic relationship with Iran that has historically alternated between cooperation and competition. In recent decades Oman has sought to position itself as a neutral mediator in the region and has maintained friendly relations with Iran, as well as with its rivals the United States and Saudi Arabia. In the 2010s and 2020s it has been one of the key mediators in discussions between Iran and the United States over Iran’s nuclear program and in trying to avert military confrontations between the two countries. It was also a key mediator in the civil war in Yemen, which involved Iran and Saudi Arabia.
