The strikes notably began hours after Oman, a key mediator, revealed that Tehran had recently agreed to surrender its enriched uranium and indefinitely forswear nuclear weapons—a breakthrough that Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi now describes as “undermined” by a war he warns the US should not be “sucked into.” Former Russian President and deputy chairman of Russia's security council Dmitry Medvedev dismissed the previous diplomatic efforts as a “cover operation”.

I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war,” he said on X.
