The US State Department has directed non-essential government employees and their families to leave the Sultanate of Oman due to mounting security risks amid the broader Middle East conflict.
The US State Department has issued an evacuation directive for the Sultanate of Oman amidst severe military escalations across the Middle East. According to اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, an Iranian breaking news channel tracking the regional conflict, Washington has asked non-essential personnel and their families in the Sultanate of Oman to leave the country citing "security risks."
This development was also broadcast by اخبار جنگ | ایران | افغانستان, another Iranian war-focused aggregator, which reported that the US has officially ordered non-essential government employees and their families to leave Oman due to the heightened threat environment.
The evacuation order follows an unprecedented wave of joint US and Israeli airstrikes across Iran earlier this month, which reportedly decimated Iranian military, naval, and air defense infrastructure. In response to the strikes, senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders threatened to set fire to all energy infrastructure in the Middle East. Oman's highly strategic location bordering the Strait of Hormuz—which has already experienced blockades that halted Kuwaiti oil production and drove global oil prices above $120 a barrel—places the Sultanate squarely within the immediate geographic footprint of the expanding conflict.
Both source channels provided identical, brief breaking-news bulletins translating a US State Department directive. Given the brevity, there is minimal editorializing in the sources themselves, though both operate as Iranian military/conflict news aggregators closely tracking US movements in the region.
