Iranian drones struck fuel storage tanks at Oman’s Port of Duqm — a country that was literally mediating US-Iran nuclear talks just days ago.
No one is neutral now. This is what Iran’s retaliation to US-Israeli strikes looks like. The entire Gulf is a war zone. 🔥

Tough problem to solve, too. Sink $400 million (must be way more than that) & accept that Iran could just whack it again. Fall back to Diego Garcia (like now) & accept the distance penalty. Maybe scatter to Oman (Salalah, Duqm) or UAE but still vulnerable + inefficient. No one site replaces Bahrain
