‘Will bomb the s*** out of Oman’: Trump's latest threat over Strait of Hormuz blockade row

US President Donald Trump warned Iran that he would "bomb the s*** out" of Oman if the country interferes with Washington's blockade of Iranian ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The threat was made during an interview with Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, who quoted Trump as saying, "If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the shit out of them."

The comments came while Trump was discussing ongoing peace talks between the US and Iran, which have been ongoing for nearly six months without a resolution. The dispute over the Strait of Hormuz has caused oil and gas prices to rise, putting pressure on Trump's party ahead of the November midterm elections. The conflict has dragged on with intermittent clashes disrupting the flow of oil and other commodities through the crucial waterway.

Iran claimed to have reached an agreement with Oman on a plan for ships to transit the strait, but details remain unclear.
