Turki Al-Faisal Questions Iran’s “New Partner” Image: Can Tehran Truly Be Trusted? Oman Responds
Former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal questioned Iran’s claims of transforming into a reliable regional and global partner, criticizing what he described as an attempt to portray Tehran “in a rosy light” compared to Israel during discussions at the Manama Dialogue in Bahrain.
Al-Faisal noted that Iran’s “aggressive conduct and interference in regional affairs since 1979” cannot be dismissed, asking: “Can Iran genuinely shift from persistent meddling to becoming an integrated and trustworthy partner in regional and international security frameworks?”
In response, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi argued in an earlier session that isolating Iran has never been a viable solution, emphasizing the importance of integrating Tehran into regional security structures to enhance long-term stability.
Al-Busaidi pointed to what he described as Iranian restraint during periods of escalating tension, accusing Israel of conducting unlawful military operations that undermined regional diplomacy and nuclear negotiations.
