Middle East 3 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 20m ago

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued threats against Oman, a U.S. ally, amid ongoing efforts involving Iran to manage shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz. According to reports, Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes with separate U.S. administration talks with Tehran aimed at reopening the crucial waterway, a key demand for the United States.

The tensions coincide with the expiration of a 60-day negotiating period intended to secure a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran. Reports indicate that both nations appeared as far apart at the conclusion of the deadline as they were at the start, with no word of an extension as Oman and Iran independently work on plans regarding Gulf shipping traffic.
