Iranian parliament speaker Ali Larijani met Thursday in Muscat with Oman's Sultan Qaboos, as Tehran seeks to mend ties with Gulf states, ONA state news agency said. Tehran enjoys good relations with Muscat, but is locked in a decades-long rivalry with Saudi Arabia, while some other Gulf countries are wary of the ambitions of their neighbour across the water. "The good relations between the two friendly countries were discussed during the meeting, as well as the various levels of existing bilateral cooperation," ONA said. "Iran has all respect for the vision of the sultan, which takes Omani-Iranian relations to top levels," ONA quoted Larijani as saying during a meeting with his counterpart, the head of the Majles Al-Shura consultative council, Khalid al-Mawali.
