Oman condemns attack on its territory: state media

Published Updated

The Omani government has condemned an attack on its territory, according to state media, with Iran’s Guards saying they targeted it during a barrage aimed at countries across the Gulf, AFP reports.

The Oman News Agency has said on X that “the Sultanate of Oman affirms its condemnation and denunciation of this attack”, which came just hours after the country hosted Iran’s foreign minister to address security issues in the Strait of Hormuz.
