Since 1 March 2026, as part of the 2026 Iran war, Iran has been launching a series of drone strikes on sites in Oman and the Strait of Hormuz, targeting the Port of Duqm and the Port of Salalah, which are used by the United States. Separate drone strikes targeted ports and industrial zones in Sohar, Bukha, and Mina Al Fahal, along with attacks in the Omani territorial waters of the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. The attacks killed 17 people and injured 35 others.

Background

[edit]

Oman and Iran have consistently shared diplomatic and economic ties dating back to the Pahlavi period, as Oman considers Iran not to be a threat as perceived by the other Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

During the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran, the two countries had economic ties. During the Dhofar Rebellion in Oman, Mohammad Reza Shah intervened in support of the Omani government, providing troops and weapons.

Muscat has historically been a venue for diplomacy between Tehran and Washington. Since the early 2000s, Oman has hosted multiple rounds of nuclear and political talks between the two countries, whom have had no formal diplomatic relations since 7 April 1980.

In 2019, Oman and the United States made an agreement for US military access to the ports of Duqm and Salalah.[18]

Negotiations

[edit]

On 12 April 2025, Iran and the United States began a series of negotiations aimed at reaching a nuclear peace agreement, with the first round held in the Al Alam Palace in Muscat. The second round of Omani-mediated talks took place in Rome on 19 April 2025, followed by a third high-level round in Muscat around a week later. On 25 February, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that a "historic" agreement with the United States to avert military conflict was "within reach".[19]

A third round of indirect talks mediated by Omani foreign minister Badr Al Busaidi took place on 26 February, at the residence of Oman's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Switzerland. The talks happened in the morning and evening of this day, with a pause for the American negotiators to meet a Ukrainian delegation, and focused on Iran's nuclear program.[20][21][22] In the midst of this round of negotiations, it was reported that the sides were far from reaching a deal.[23]

On 28 February 2026, the US and Israel launched a series of strikes against Iran, targeting key officials, military commanders, and facilities. Iran replied by launching strikes against Israel and American military bases in the Middle East, as well as civilian targets.[24][25] Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and a number of Iranian officials, including the Minister of Defense Aziz Nasirzadeh, and the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Mohammad Pakpour, were killed in the strikes.[24][26]

After the US-Israeli attack on Iran, Al-Busaidi said that he was dismayed and that "active and serious negotiations" had been undermined.[27]

Reactions

[edit]

Iran

[edit]

On 2 March, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the attacks on Oman were not their choice and were carried out by Iranian military units that are acting independently based on general instructions that have been given to them.[109] Iranian General Staff said it did not order a military strike on Omani territory and stated Oman remains a "friend and neighbour".[110] However Iran continued to carry out strikes even after the statement.[111]

Iran said it was not involved in the attacks on Salalah Port. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson for a key command unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, called the attack "very suspicious" and said Tehran was investigating it, according to Iranian state media, adding that he viewed Oman as a "friendly neighbouring and brotherly country".[42]

In 20 March, Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei released a written statement denying that Iran or its allied forces were behind the drone attacks in Oman and Turkey. He claimed these incidents were "false flag" operations orchestrated by Israel to "sow discord between Iran and its neighbors".[112]

On 25 April, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi met with Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq in during a one-day visit to Oman after he departed Islamabad after talks with Pakistani leaders, to discuss the "evolving" regional situation and mediation efforts to end the 2026 Iran war.[113]

United States

[edit]

On 14 March, the US State Department ordered all non-essential government staff and their families to leave Oman.[114]

On 28 May, the US president Donald Trump threatened to 'blow up' Oman if it fails to "behave" in a casual aside during a cabinet meeting after reports of talks between Iran and Oman about jointly charging a toll for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.[115]

On 18 August, Donald Trump once again threatened to bomb Oman if it "got in the way" of U.S. talks with Iran.[116]
