      The Omanis have been considered a neutral party in this conflict and Iran has denied responsibility for every attack in this war that has occurred on their territory.

      Much more plausibly, the UAE has a pipeline that terminates at an oil port in Oman. I personally do not expect the Iranians to attack this port, even though it will allow the UAE to export oil without passing through the strait of Hormuz.

      EDIT: Fact checked myself, the port of Fujairah in the Gulf of Oman is actually UAE territory
