The call for unity comes with added context regarding regional tensions. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Gulf Arab monarchies have viewed Iran's ideology as a threat. During the current conflict with the US and Israel, Tehran has struck US military facilities and other infrastructure in some Gulf states, highlighting the friction between Iran and its neighbours.
The message was reportedly Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's first public communication since being injured in US-Israeli airstrikes six months ago that also killed his father, the previous supreme leader.
In a significant development, Iran and Oman have reportedly taken joint action that is being described as a setback for the United States in the region. This move has drawn international attention and intensified tensions between Tehran and Washington. The action is linked to a recent statement from Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, which has fueled further speculation about the strategic alignment between Iran and Oman.
