Whenever you hear news about the Iranian conflict, it concentrates a lot more on what’s happening in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or Qatar but for some reason not much updates from Oman about that despite them being a GCC member state. Does that mean Oman is spared from the conflict despite being adjacent to Iran regarding their geography?
Oman has publicly criticized the strikes on Iran, but it also has agreements to allow the US military to use its bases and ports. Iran has attacked their ports with drones for that reason, although not much. They don’t want war in their region, which is fair.
If they don’t want war, they shouldn’t allow the US military to use their bases ports.
