UAE condemns Iranian attack on Sultanate of Oman

The UAE has condemned in the strongest terms the Iranian attacks targeting the Sultanate of Oman, considering these hostile acts a serious escalation, a flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to regional security and stability.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) affirmed that the expansion of attacks to additional countries is unacceptable and condemned under all legal and political norms, and constitutes a serious escalation that undermines de-escalation efforts and heightens regional tensions.

FOUR INJURED: Four people were injured after an oil tanker was targeted north of Port of Khasab in Musandam Governorate, in the north of the Sultanate of Oman.

The Maritime Security Centre announced that the oil tanker SKYLIGHT, flying the flag of the Republic of Palau, was targeted five nautical miles north of the Port of Khasab in Musandam Governorate, Oman News Agency reported.

The injured were transferred to receive the necessary medical treatment. The centre noted that rescue operations were carried out in coordination among various military, security and civil authorities, reflecting Oman’s readiness to respond to maritime incidents.
