Iran condemns US attack, expresses solidarity with Oman

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has condemned the US attack on areas near Iran’s Bandar Abbas, and expressed solidarity with Oman after “US officials’ threats” in a statement delivered on Thursday.

This follows US President Donald Trump’s threats to “blow up” Oman if it joins Iran in imposing fees on the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that they have targeted US bases in retaliation to the US strikes on Bandar Abbas which escalated the conflict while peace talks were still ongoing between the countries.
