Iran Strikes Oman Duqm Port for First Time — Iranian Drones Hit the Mediator Nation

Two Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones struck Oman Duqm commercial port, injuring one expatriate worker, marking the first ever attack on Omani soil since the conflict began. One drone hit a mobile housing unit for workers while debris from the second fell near fuel storage tanks. The strike is significant because Oman had served as the primary mediator in U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, with Foreign Minister Albusaidi having declared peace within reach just hours before the initial strikes. Exact event time is uncertain; estimate based on March 1 reporting.
