Trump Threatens Military Action Against Oman Over Strait of Hormuz Dispute
Trump said the United States would bomb Oman if it blocked talks on reopening a route that carries about one-fifth of global oil shipments, Fox News reported.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump warned he would "bomb the s*** out of" Oman if the nation interferes with United States control of the Strait of Hormuz during a Fox News interview.
- Omani and Iranian officials are negotiating maritime navigation arrangements for the Strait, effectively bypassing U.S. oversight, while the 60-day ceasefire window from the MoU expired on Monday.
- Trump confirmed a backchannel exists with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, describing them as "good poker players, but they're dying," while dismissing munitions costs as "peanuts."
- Iran retorted that the crucial energy waterway "will remain Iranian," though Trump insists the Strait is under U.S. control despite traffic remaining throttled following Tehran's effective closure.
- With November midterms approaching, Trump faces pressure from Republicans seeking to maintain control of Congress, yet insists he is in "no hurry" to reach a deal despite the war's deep unpopularity among Americans.
