Iran Denies Drone Strikes on Oman — Rejects Reports of Attacks on Salalah Port and Dhofar Province

Iran's Armed Forces General Staff Communications Center issued a statement denying "any military aggression by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territory and ports of the friendly and neighboring country of Oman." The denial followed reports from Omani officials of a drone strike on Salalah port and two additional drone attacks on the Dhofar province in southwestern Oman. Iran has struck multiple neighboring Gulf states since the conflict began on February 28.
