Oman Sultan's visit to Tehran may aim to mend US/Iran relations | Al Akhbar English:
"Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said on Sunday began the first visit to Iran by a foreign leader since President Hassan Rouhani took office and Iranian media said his trip might be an effort to mediate between Tehran and Washington.
Oman, a Gulf Arab state that maintains close ties with both the United States and Iran, has previously been an important go-between for the two countries that severed diplomatic relations in 1980 and are in a protracted stand-off over the Iranian nuclear program.
The West suspects the Islamic Republic is working to develop a nuclear arms capability, an accusation Iran denies, and has brought about increasingly strict international sanctions against Tehran."
