Oman, Iran, launch commemorative stamp
Muscat: To coincide with the visit of Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, to the Sultanate of Oman, Oman Post, in cooperation with the National Post of Iran, announced the launch of a joint commemorative stamp today at Al Alam Palace in Muscat.
The joint stamp reflects the deep cultural and historical ties between Oman and Iran, and the two countries' shared commitment to a policy of good neighborliness, constructive cooperation, and cultural exchanges between peoples.
The stamp's artistic design embodies a visual harmony between the two countries' architectural and cultural symbols. At its center is the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, a prominent symbol of Omani Islamic architecture, framed by palm trees symbolizing Oman's resilience and deep-rooted agricultural heritage, which constitutes an integral part of the country's environmental and social identity.
Opposite, the historic Bastak Mosque in southern Iran is framed by the cypress tree, a symbol of eternity in Persian visual culture and a testament to cultural stability and continuity. At the heart of the design is a hand-woven Persian carpet, inspired by the one in the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.
Handwoven in Iran's Khorasan Province and decorated with delicate floral motifs, it is a fine example of artisanal collaboration and a symbol of the diverse cultural ties between the two friendly countries and societies.
Above this scene, the sun of renewal and hope for a prosperous future rises, symbolizing the two countries' aspirations for positive cooperation. A carrier pigeon soars above, a symbol of communication, peace, and harmony, carrying a continuous and renewed message of friendship and shared interests.
Through this stamp, both sides affirmed their determination to enhance cooperation in the field of postal services, contributing to expanding promising areas of partnership with greater mutual benefits.

"Expressed deep concern": PM Modi in phone call with Iran Prez Pezeshkian calls for de-escalation, dialogue
New Delhi: Following the strikes by the United States at Iran's nuclear facilities, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke with the President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, expressing deep concern at the recent escalations and called for "immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy". In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. We discussed in detail about the current situation. Expressed deep concern at the recent escalations," PM Modi stated. He emphasised the need for a peaceful resolution and added, "Reiterated our call for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward and for early restoration of regional peace, security and stability." Speaking from the White House, Trump on Saturday (US local time) announced that America carried out "massive precision" strikes on Iran and warned the latter of further retaliation if peace was not achieved. Iran condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of international law and vowed to continue its nuclear programme. A statement issued by AEOI confirmed that early on Sunday morning, Iran's nuclear sites were "subjected to savage aggression--an act in violation of international laws, particularly the NPT." "This action, which violates international regulations, unfortunately took place under the indifference--and even complicity--of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," it said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the military action under the leadership of Trump, stating that Trump's bold decision to target Iranian nuclear facilities will change history. The conflict between Israel and Iran entered its ninth day on Saturday, with the US now joining in support of Israel.
