Oman's Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi called for an extension of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, urging continued negotiations to prevent further conflict in the Gulf region. This plea follows the collapse of direct talks in Islamabad, where US Vice President JD Vance warned that Washington had made its final offer to Tehran. In response to Iran's nuclear ambitions, President Donald Trump announced that the US Navy would blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route, accusing Iran of extorting the world and failing to maintain open passage. Both US and Iranian delegations departed Pakistan without reaching an agreement, highlighting the deepening rift over Iran's nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to mediate peace efforts, indicating international interest in resolving the escalating tensions.
