US President Donald Trump has threatened military action against Oman if the country obstructs a potential deal with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated the US would "bomb the shit out of" Oman, escalating tensions as a ceasefire between the US and Iran nears its expiration. This strong statement suggests a willingness to use force to secure an agreement concerning the vital shipping lane. The threat comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional conflicts. It is unclear what specific actions by Oman would trigger such a response, but Trump’s comments indicate a firm stance. The situation raises concerns about potential destabilization in the region and the possibility of broader conflict. The statement has been reported by the Norwegian news agency NTB.
