Al-Busaidi: No new conflicts as armed groups seize oil tanker
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi affirmed that the Sultanate of Oman is committed to maintaining maritime security and respecting international law, while rejecting escalation and engagement in new conflicts in the region. He explained that achieving sustainable security in the Strait of Hormuz requires enduring peace and addressing the causes of tension—such as exclusionary policies and non-compliance with international law—through diplomacy and dialogue. He also emphasized the importance of reaching a political agreement to reduce regional tensions, ensure freedom of navigation, and maintain the flow of energy supplies, highlighting the significance of the strait for international maritime transit. In a separate matter, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UK MTO) announced that six armed individuals boarded an oil tanker off the coast of Yemen and redirected its course toward Somalia. The agency warned ships about suspicious activity and the danger of security incidents in the Gulf of Aden.
