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. Writing from the vantage of a nation that long served as the quiet bridge between Washington and Tehran, Albusaidi does not merely mourn the collapse of diplomacy — he questions whether American power has become untethered from American judgment, and whether the friends of a superpower bear any responsibility for telling it the truth.

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.
