Trump threatens to 'bomb the s**t' out of Oman if it gets in way of Iran deal

US President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes with a US deal with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. According to IOL, this warning comes as pressure mounts to end the nearly six-month conflict.

The Strait of Hormuz has become a sensitive point in the US-Iran dispute due to its importance to international energy supplies and Iran's insistence on a greater role in determining maritime arrangements there. The US and Iran had signed a 60-day temporary agreement in June, which provided a window to negotiate a durable settlement covering the US-Iran conflict, Iran's nuclear programme, and the security of the Strait of Hormuz.

The deadline for a comprehensive agreement expired without a deal, with Trump ruling out extending the temporary agreement. The Arabian Post reported that Trump gave a "categorical response: 'No'" when asked if Washington would seek more time under the memorandum of understanding.
