Claim 2: “Oman is one of the most important mediators between Washington and Tehran.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While the evidence confirms negotiations between the US and Iran, it explicitly identifies Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as the mediator in the current talks, not Oman. Wikipedia mentions Oman's general relations with Iran, but does not corroborate its role as the 'most important mediator' in the context of the current 2025-2026 negotiations.
