Oman's Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest drone attacks on its territory, specifically in the governorates of Musandam and Al Wusta, according to a report. The move follows earlier drone strikes on the strategic peninsula.
Oman's Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador Monday morning to protest drone attacks on the country, specifying the governorates of Musandam and Al Wusta as the targets. The diplomatic reprimand, described by Oman as a response to "irresponsible acts" by Iran, follows a series of drone strikes on the strategic Musandam peninsula, which juts into the Strait of Hormuz.
As The Zioneer reported Sunday, an Omani security source confirmed multiple drone strikes on points in Musandam province. The new summoning provides greater geographic detail, naming Al Wusta as also affected. The incident is part of a broader escalation: Iran has reportedly launched retaliatory strikes against US installations in several Gulf states, including Oman, following a massive US air campaign.
The summoning of the Iranian ambassador — identified in earlier reports as Musa Farhank — marks Oman's strongest public rebuke of Tehran in the current crisis. Oman, which historically mediates between Iran and the West, now finds itself directly targeted.
