Three weeks into a war that began just hours after the most promising diplomatic exchange in months, Oman's Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi has offered a rare and sobering verdict from the inside: the United States has made its greatest strategic miscalculation.

Similar to 2003 Iraq invasion criticism from regional allies—initial military action followed by loss of international coalition support and credibility, though current conflict appears more acute given direct Iran-US engagement.
