Oman warns of ‘catastrophe’ if talks fail

Oman’s foreign minister says failure to reach a nuclear accord would result in “catastrophe” in the region, Reuters reports.

“There are those who prefer peace, this is why there are negotiations between the 5+1 and Iran,” Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi says.

“Those who prefer wars – they should be willing to accept losses. Heavy losses. Catastrophe.”
