Trump threatens Oman if it 'gets in way' of Iran deal
President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it "gets in the way" of a US deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and called for Iran to surrender in a war that has become a growing political burden.
President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb the Sultanate of Oman if it interferes with Iran's negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. The US president tweeted a map showing the key waterway as a newly claimed American territory after Iran effectively closed it, causing a crisis in the Middle East. Iran has demanded the US lift its blockade of Iranian ports, waive oil sanctions, release frozen assets and stop threats and military operations as conditions for reopening the strait.
Both Iran and Oman have been discussing the future of navigation through the Hormuz Strait, but Trump has vowed to prevent Oman from getting in the way of a potential deal with Tehran.
