Gulf of Oman Vessel Caught in US-Iran Military Exchange Near UAE Waters
⚓ GULF OF OMAN — A bulk cargo vessel is caught in US-Iran crossfire east of UAE. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Khor Fakkan sits on the UAE's east coast — Gulf of Oman side, outside Hormuz itself. An incident here means the exchange zone is expanding beyond Qeshm and Jask. A bulk carrier in military fire signals deliberate interdiction or collateral escalation. Either reading widens the conflict footprint and strips UAE of its remaining neutrality buffer.
