Trump amenaza ahora con bombardear Omán si “se interpone” en su camino

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it stands in his way over access to the Strait of Ormuz, according to a recent interview with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst. The remarks come just ten days after Oman and Iran announced they were nearing an agreement to manage traffic in the strategic waterway, which has been closed or nearly closed for nearly six months due to a dual blockade by Tehran and Washington.

Oman had previously served as a mediator and potential negotiation platform, but has now become the target of U.S. threats. Trump's comments echo his earlier stance that the ultimate goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
