drones struck major oil storage facilities at Oman’s Salalah Port, triggering massive fires and raising alarms over the security of global energy routes. Authorities say several drones were intercepted while others hit fuel tanks at the strategic port, one of the region’s key energy hubs. The attack forced port operations to pause and sparked concerns about potential disruptions to oil shipping routes. The incident comes amid rising confrontation between Iran, the United States, and Israel, with regional infrastructure increasingly becoming a target in the widening conflict. While some voices online claim the strike could be a “false flag” operation meant to escalate tensions, officials continue investigating the attack as fears grow over security in the Strait of Hormuz and across the Gulf energy corridor.

00:22Iranian drones have struck oil storage tanks at Oman's Salalah port,
00:27one of the country's key energy hubs.
00:30The attack is raising fresh concerns about escalating tensions in the Middle East and
00:35the safety of global oil routes.
00:38Claims of an Israeli false flag operation circulate, particularly among Iran's supporters
00:43and on social media.
00:46Iranian officials and media have repeatedly accused Israel of staging false flag attacks
00:51on Gulf states, including Oman, to provoke widen involvement against Iran, widen the war,
00:57or strain Iran's relations with neighbors.
01:00According to reports from Al Jazeera and Oman TV, a series of drone strikes targeted oil
01:05storage tanks at the port of Salalah in southern Oman.
01:09The British maritime security firm AMBRE confirmed the strikes on energy infrastructure, but added
01:14an important detail.
01:16No merchant vessels were damaged in the attack.
01:19However, the incident is being seen as part of a wider pattern of Iranian strikes on Gulf
01:24energy sites.
01:25These attacks are believed to be retaliation for ongoing military actions by the United
01:29States and Israel in the region.
01:31And that makes this strike particularly significant because Oman has traditionally maintained a neutral
01:38position in regional conflicts.
01:43Following the attack, Oman's sultan Haitham bin Tarek personally contacted Iranian President
01:49Massoud Pazeshkian.
01:50During the call, the sultan strongly condemned the strikes on Omani territory and expressed
01:55his clear disapproval of the escalation.
01:58At the same time, the sultan reaffirmed that Oman remains neutral in the ongoing conflict,
02:03but warned that the country will take all necessary steps to protect its security and stability.
02:09The timing of this attack is also noteworthy.
02:13Just days earlier, sultan Haitham had congratulated Ayatollah Mujtaba Khamenei on becoming Iran's
02:19new supreme leader, a gesture that highlighted Oman's diplomatic ties with Seiran.
02:23For years, Oman has played a quiet but crucial role as a mediator between Iran and the United
02:29States.
02:29But analysts say the ongoing 11-day regional war has strained those diplomatic efforts.
