Oman’s foreign ministry announced Sunday that officials are investigating recent attacks within the country’s borders, with no organization stepping forward to claim responsibility for the incidents.
Government officials stated they are examining the “sources and motives” behind the attacks but declined to provide additional details or identify specific incidents under investigation.
On Saturday, a drone strike at Oman’s Salalah port left one worker injured, prompting Danish shipping giant Maersk to temporarily suspend its operations at the facility following the attack.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards reported Saturday that they had targeted an American support vessel at a “considerable” distance from the Salalah port, according to Iranian media outlets.
“As we have previously stated, the national sovereignty of our brotherly and friendly country Oman is respected by the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Iranian officials stated.
This follows an earlier incident on March 11, when drone attacks hit oil storage facilities at the same Salalah port. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian assured Oman’s sultan during a telephone conversation that the March incident would be thoroughly investigated.
