A residential building in the Bukha area of Oman’s Musandam Governorate was struck today in an attack attributed to Iran, lightly to moderately injuring two expatriate workers, according to Omani state media and local reports.
Key Details:
- Four vehicles were damaged and windows of nearby houses were shattered by the blast.
- No fatalities have been reported.
- The incident occurred amid a fresh wave of Iranian-linked attacks across the Gulf, including today’s drone strike on Fujairah’s oil zone in the UAE and multiple cargo ship fires off the UAE coast.
Oman has not yet issued an official statement blaming Iran directly, consistent with its longstanding policy of neutrality. However, the timing and location strongly point to Iranian responsibility as part of Tehran’s ongoing retaliation campaign.
This marks another escalation in the regional crisis, with Iran targeting Gulf shipping, oil facilities, and now civilian areas in Oman, a country that has historically served as a mediator between Iran and the West.
UAE has strongly condemned the attacks, and international maritime agencies continue to warn of extreme danger in the area.
