JAKARTA - Iran denies targeting Oman during the second day of retaliatory attacks on the air raids of the United States (US) and Israel that killed its highest leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iranian state media quoted Al Jazeera as reporting on Tuesday, February 3, that the Islamic Republic never attacked Oman on Sunday, March 1.
A fuel tank at the commercial port of Duqm in the Al Wusta Governorate in central Oman was hit by two drones last weekend. As a result of the attack, two migrant workers were injured.
Previously, a drone was also found to have fallen near the Salalah Port, and two other drones were intercepted in the Dhofar province, Oman.
On Sunday, March 1, Iran's retaliatory attack targeted US assets in the Middle East, namely in Dubai, UAE; the capital of Bahrain, Manama; and the capital of Qatar, Doha.
Oman through its Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi, is known to have been a mediator in the Iran-US tensions.
Al-Busaidi was the negotiator of the Iran-US nuclear talks in Geneva until the fourth round, which was planned to be held in Vienna but was canceled because the US-Israel suddenly attacked Iran on Saturday, February 28.
"I am very disappointed. Active and serious negotiations have once again been undermined. Neither the interests of the US nor the goal of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocent people who will suffer. I urge the US not to get further involved. This is not your war," wrote Al-Busaidi via his X account, @badralbusaidi.
