WASHINGTON, United States, March 14, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United States on Friday told its non-emergency US government employees in Oman and their family members to leave the Gulf country as war rages in the Middle East.

The State Department updated its advisory to warn Americans of "safety risks," noting "there has been an ongoing threat of drone and missile attacks from Iran and significant disruptions to commercial flights."

Two people were killed by drone in northern Oman, state media reported Friday, as Iran continues its retaliatory attacks on neighboring countries.
