GCC condemns Iran over Oman port strike

Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Al Budaiwi condemned Iran over the drone strike on fuel storage tanks at Oman’s Salalah port, saying the council states stand united behind Oman in defending its security, stability and territorial integrity.

Earlier Wednesday, Omani authorities confirmed drones struck fuel tanks at the port while others were shot down. Oman said the tanks were damaged but no casualties were reported.

Iranian media reported that President Pezeshkian told Oman’s sultan that the incident will be investigated.
