The Iranian ambassador in Kenya said: In 1662, the people of the coastal city of Mombasa asked the King of Oman to save them from Portuguese colonialism. Because at that time Omanis used to visit these areas a lot. Oman was involved in internal issues at that time and could not help much, but asked for help from the Baloch commanders because the Baloch community has been present in Oman for a long time.
