A major drone attack on Oman’s Salalah Port has sent shockwaves across the globe.

Explosions at Energy Facility Captured on Video
Footage circulating online shows the precise moment the Iranian drones hit the energy facility. The visuals suggest that Iran has repeatedly targeted key energy sites in the Gulf region. Early reports indicate that no merchant vessels were damaged in this specific attack, though massive flames and thick smoke were seen rising from the oil storage tanks immediately afterward.
Omani Sultan Expresses Strong Condemnation
In response, Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said contacted Iranian President Masoud Pajeshekian to express serious concern over the attacks in Omani territory. The Sultan reiterated Oman’s neutral stance in the conflict and emphasized that the country will take all necessary measures to safeguard its security and stability. According to The Times of Israel, the attacks occurred shortly after the Sultan congratulated Mojtaba Khamenei on becoming Iran’s new Supreme Leader.
Attacks Near the Strait of Hormuz
Despite Oman’s repeated efforts to mediate between Tehran and Washington, the escalating conflict appears to be outpacing diplomatic attempts. Media reports suggest that three commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical maritime trade routes—were also targeted. The latest developments indicate that the confrontation is rapidly spreading from Iran’s borders into neighboring Gulf nations.
