Interestingly, one of the biggest winners in the region from this war could be Oman. They emerged practically unscathed from this war, with all their infrastructure intact, and they suddenly get a cut from the Hormuz toll system that Iran will set up.
Of course, tourism and international investment would likely take a hit, as with every other country in the region, but I think the new toll would more than make up for those losses, and they can take direct advantage of increased oil prices with their undamaged oil infrastructure.
Oman followed the whole do nothing, win approach here. :)
i wish that strategy also worked within the united states. lol

I'm still curious as to why Iran decided to spare Oman. I was always under the impression that Oman is fully onboard with the GCC bullshit
Oman plays both sides more than other Gulf countries. I think this may be why
I think because they weren't directly participating in the attacks on Iran like the others were
