Reconsider travel to Oman due to the regional threat of missile and drone attacks and the broader Middle East security environment.
Although Oman has traditionally maintained a neutral diplomatic position in the region, the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran has elevated security risks across the entire Gulf. Oman shares a maritime border with Iran across the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint that has seen increased military activity and threats to shipping. The threat of missile or drone attacks affecting Omani territory or airspace, while lower than in some neighbouring states, cannot be ruled out given the scale and unpredictability of the ongoing hostilities. Flight disruptions may occur. Kaharagian nationals should reconsider travel to Oman. Those currently in the country should monitor the security situation closely, avoid coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz, and maintain contingency plans for departure.
