War in Iran: Oman, the Gulf Country That Fares Best — and Why

A ceasefire was reached between Washington and Tehran, ending five weeks of strikes in the Middle East. The Sultanate of Oman, having maintained active neutrality, recorded only 3 deaths and 15 injuries, while the United Arab Emirates faced much heavier losses with 165 missiles and 541 Iranian drones. The strikes primarily targeted port infrastructures in Oman, unlike the densely populated civilian areas of other Gulf monarchies.
