The Sultanate of Oman in light of political challenges and changes 1976-1980
Abstract
Oman suffered from severe isolation for a long time, until Sultan Qaboos bin Said took over the reins of power on July 23, 1970. He managed Omani foreign policy with a new understanding of regional and international changes. During the period (1976-1980), the Sultanate of Oman faced local, regional and international political challenges and changes. The Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean region witnessed regional events that posed serious challenges, including the Islamic Revolution in Iran in February 1979 and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December of the same year. In response to these events, Oman proposed its security plan to protect the Arabian Gulf region in general and the Strait of Hormuz in particular.
