Oman negates signing an agreement for the joint defense with Iran

Sultan Qabus Bin Saeed of Oman negated yesterday that his country signed an agreement for joint defense with Iran, clarifying that his country signed an agreement for the security cooperation only with Iran.

This came in a message sent by Sultan Qabus Bin Saeed to the United Arab Emirates' President Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan al-Nahyan .

It is worthy to mention that the Iranian - Emirate relations are witnessing an obvious tension due to Tehran's domination of three Islands in the Gulf that the Emirates demands sovereignty over.
