Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it gets in way of Iran deal
President Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it obstructs a US deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz, demanding Iran’s surrender. com/trump-threatens-to-bomb-oman-if-it-gets-in-way-of-iran-deal/
President Donald Trump declared on Monday that he would "bomb the shit out of Oman" if the country interfered with a US deal with Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz. The president made the threat while speaking to Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, referring to ongoing talks between Oman and Iran regarding maritime navigation arrangements through the crucial shipping route.
Iranian and Omani officials have been discussing a joint declaration to govern future traffic through the strait, but Trump has claimed that the waterway is under US control despite being blocked by Iran since the beginning of the Middle East war on February 28. Trump also suggested that Iran should "put up the white flag of surrender" during the interview, emphasizing that the US is in communication with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, describing them as "good poker players, but they're dying."
