Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have struck US military logistics and refueling facilities at Duqm port in Oman, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing confrontation between Tehran and Washington. The attacks, which took place on March 1 and March 3, 2026, targeted one of the most strategically consequential ports outside the Persian Gulf.
This is the third round of Iranian retaliation following US and Israeli strikes on Iranian positions beginning February 28, 2026.
What happened at Duqm
The March 1 strike involved two Iranian drones. One hit a mobile workers’ housing unit at the port, injuring one expatriate worker. The second was intercepted, though debris landed near fuel storage tanks.
Two days later, multiple drones returned. This time they targeted a fuel storage tank directly. Damage was contained and no additional casualties were reported.
