Oman Investigates Bukha Attack and Ceasefire Breach

In Spring 2026, Oman witnessed an attack on a residential building near the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Sources stated in May 2026 that Tehran breached its commitments by targeting the UAE and Oman after a relative calm. Authorities confirmed in mid-May 2026 the continuation of field investigations to ensure national sovereignty and the safety of residents. This 2026 escalation raises international concerns about the return of direct military conflicts threatening Gulf security.
