Original: oman
Oman is in the spotlight after Iran struck a tanker off Sohar and two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, while the US disabled a bulker, in a sharp escalation for Gulf shipping. At a state banquet, Oman's king praised efforts to keep the strategic waterway peaceful, underscoring the country's mediation role as fears grow over the safety of one of the world's busiest oil routes.
Why now: Renewed attacks on tankers near Omani waters and the Strait of Hormuz are raising concerns about oil shipping and regional escalation.
