Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it hinders Iran deal

Former President Donald Trump issued a public warning directed at Oman, criticizing the Gulf nation’s independent diplomatic efforts with Iran aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The statement came as the 60‑day period designated for renewed peace negotiations between the United States and Iran reached its conclusion, raising concerns about the future of regional stability and the prospects for a diplomatic resolution to the longstanding maritime dispute.

Oman has continued to mediate between Tehran and Washington, emphasizing its role as a neutral facilitator and urging both parties to maintain open channels while the strait remains a critical conduit for global oil shipments. With the negotiation window now closed, officials from the involved countries are expected to assess next steps, while the strategic importance of the Hormuz passage keeps the issue at the forefront of international attention.
