Oman’s neutrality under scrutiny
Oman has experienced a serious security escalation after an attack on Al-Fahl Port in Muscat by a suicide drone, which temporarily halted oil exports from the port. The port normally ships around 900,000 barrels daily to Asia, especially China and Taiwan. This incident occurs amidst rising tensions between the United States and Iran, with American warnings to Oman regarding negotiations with Iran, and accusations that the region is heading toward escalation that could destabilize the Gulf. Targeting the port is a dangerous move that threatens regional oil security and reflects a deterioration in Oman’s traditional neutrality amid escalating US-Iranian tensions.
