President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of his efforts to negotiate with Iran, repeating a threat made in May. The threats come as a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is set to expire Monday with no deal reached, and as Oman has been engaged in talks with Tehran regarding arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz. Shipping traffic through the Strait has reached a new low.
The president issued the expletive-laced threat Monday, according to multiple reports, while struggling to conclude the conflict that began approximately six months ago. The Financial Times reports that Oman and Iran have been in discussions about provisional arrangements to manage the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane. Trump’s threat appears aimed at preventing Oman from disrupting those negotiations.
No right-leaning outlets reported on this story. Left and lean-left sources uniformly reported Trump’s threat, while center sources confirmed the remarks and the context of ongoing negotiations. The Washington Times, a right-leaning outlet, also reported the threat, but did not emphasize the expletive-laced nature of the statement.
The expiration of the ceasefire, combined with these threats, raises questions about the future of U.S.-Iran relations and the stability of the Strait of Hormuz.
