Trump Threatens Oman Over Strait of Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly issued a stark warning to Oman during an interview with Fox News, saying Washington would respond forcefully if Muscat attempted to interfere with U.S. plans concerning the Strait of Hormuz and negotiations with Iran.
Trump was quoted as saying:
“If Oman tries to interfere with our plans for the Strait of Hormuz and the kind of deal we want with Iran, we will bomb them hard and without hesitation.”
The reported warning comes amid heightened tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy and shipping route, and ongoing efforts to shape a broader agreement with Iran.
