Oman supports Saudi Arabia in military strikes against UAE-backed forces in Yemen

Oman has provided Saudi Arabia with intelligence and support in launching military strikes against the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council of Yemen, according to a report by Middle East Eye.

This development comes amid Oman’s historically complex relations with Southern Yemen, particularly during the last century. Oman has maintained close ties with the northern tribes of Yemen, which are primarily represented by the Ansarullah movement. Additionally, Oman is playing a mediating role between Riyadh and Sana"a in the ongoing conflict.

For further context on regional military activities, recent developments in Ethiopia highlight similar situations in the Middle East.
