Muscat, July 12: Tensions in the Middle East have intensified as Iran expanded its military operations against U.S. interests in the Gulf region, amid a rapidly escalating confrontation with Washington. According to international reports, Iranian missile and drone strikes have targeted U.S.-linked military facilities and strategic assets across several Gulf nations, prompting heightened security alerts.

While reports of attacks on U.S. military interests continue to emerge, there is unconfirmed reports that a U.S. logistics support base in Oman was directly struck in the latest wave of attacks. There are news of attack on Jordan, Kuwait etc.

The escalation follows U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets, with both sides exchanging threats and military action. Regional governments have strengthened air defence measures, while international leaders have urged restraint to prevent a wider conflict that could threaten maritime security and global energy supplies.

The situation remains highly fluid, with further developments expected as diplomatic efforts continue alongside military operations.
