One of the only Arab government’s NOT to condemn the attack is OMAN:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

#Statement || An official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Sultanate of Oman's condemnation of the ongoing regional escalation in the region, which was caused by Israel's illegal missile attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran on June 13th and the ongoing exchange of missile attacks since then.

They called it "an unacceptable and blatant violation", which is maybe a little soft. The framing around Israel is useful at least

Both sides are bad type of statement

You are right. However, compared to the following horrible statement from the Saudis, Oman is a little better. The bar is very low for the arab monarchies.

“Excuse me, how dare you retaliate against the foreign military occupying me just because they illegally attacked you!”
