President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman over its independent negotiations with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Oman is reportedly finalizing a deal involving shipping and navigation routes, which Trump views as interfering with U.S. interests. This follows a similar threat made in May, despite Oman's historical role as a neutral mediator and provider of U.S. military facility access.
