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.
