Araghchi in Muscat: Oman's Diplomatic Lifeline to Tehran Draws Fresh Attention

Araghchi's Muscat visit exposed the gap between Iranian state media's substantive read-out on US military deployments and Western wires' softer framing around Oman's condolence message, and the difference tells the reader who each side is trying to influence.

Desk note: Monexus led with the substance of Araghchi's anti-American remarks rather than the condolence framing that dominated Western wires, on the reasoning that the diplomatic signal value of the Muscat visit sits in what the Iranian foreign minister chose to say in public, not in the protocol theatre around it.
