Trump Threatens Military Action Against Oman Over Strait of Hormuz Dispute
President Trump warns Oman it faces bombing if it obstructs the US blockade of Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a route carrying 20% of global oil.
- 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.
