  "summary": "President Donald Trump threatened Monday to bomb Oman if it \"gets in the way\" of a US deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and called for Tehran to surrender in a war that has become a growing political burden. Control of the waterway, which Iran has effectively closed since the conflict began on February 28, remains at the heart of the deadlock between Tehran and Washington.",
