US embassy in Oman tells staff, citizens to take cover due to ‘activity outside Muscat’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US embassy in Oman asks staff and citizens to shelter in place today, citing unspecified “activity” outside the capital Muscat, as Iran conducts a second day of retaliatory strikes across the Gulf.
“Due to ongoing activity outside of Muscat, the US Embassy in Oman has instructed staff to shelter-in-place (ie, take cover). We recommend all Americans in Oman do the same until further notice,” the embassy says in a post on X.
Oman, a key mediator in the US-Iran talks, had so far been spared Iranian attacks. It was unclear what the activity mentioned by the embassy was.
