Are the mullahs bugging out?

[Hanaguma]

Just saw a news report that at least 3, and possibly 4, Iranian government aircraft have recently touched down in Oman. This includes the Iranian President's official plane, their equivalent of Air Force One.  What could be going on?

A lot of things will have unexpected new orifices very shortly after today's ballistic missile attack on an Israeli hospital and could be behind any exodus 🤔

Oman has in the past been the site of clandestine negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.  It could be the Iranian leadership is doing a runner, but it's more likely Iran is trying to make a deal with the U.S. and Israel.  For at least 20 years, Oman has served as an intermediary between Iran and the U.S.  Oman's former leader, Sultan Qaboos, had maintained good relations with both the U.S. and Iran and even hosted a visit by Netanyahu in 2018.    https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/netanyahu-makes-historic-visit-to-oman-570388

 

"At times, Qaboos was able to position himself as a trusted mediator in the region’s tensest situations, including an interim nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran in 2013."  https://www.britannica.com/biography/Qaboos-bin-Said

 

Qaboos died in 2020 and his successor as Sultan has upheld the role of go-between.

Seems wishful thinking.

What does "bugging out" mean? Is it a sex thing?

It means their eyes are bulging. It could be related to sex.
