As the US-Israel-Iran war entered its twelfth day, oil storage facilities were attacked in Oman’s Salalah port and no damage to merchant ships was reported.
Authorities were able to put out the fire after Iranian strikes hit the oil facilities. Al Jazeera reported.
After the drones hit the fuel tank at the port of Salalah, an Energy Ministry official told Oman’s state news agency, there has been no interruption in the continuity of the supply of oil or its derivatives in the country.
About the port of Salalah
The port founded in 1989 is promoted as the largest port in the Sultanate of Oman region. The port, which plays an important role in regional trade and helps global transactions, has so far handled more than 50 million TEUs and more than 100 million tonnes of bulk, liquid and general cargo.
Twelfth day of the war between the United States and Israel against Iran
Gulf nations continued to defend themselves as Iranian strikes continued to hit the areas in retaliation for the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Meanwhile, Tehran said nearly 10,000 civilian sites in the country have been bombed and more than 1,300 civilians have been killed, according to Al Jazeera.
On Tuesday, Iranian targets such as Tehran’s Mehrabad airport were hit. The tensions have caused a record jump in global energy prices.
Amid growing pressure on the United States, President Donald Trump commented that the war will end soon. In Washington, lawmakers have called for public hearings on the war’s goals and criticized the administration’s strategy as American casualties mount.
