Trump Threatens to Bomb U.S. Ally Oman if It “Gets in the Way” Over Iran Deal

Trump said he would “bomb” Oman if the Gulf ally “gets in the way” as negotiations and commitments connected to Iran come under pressure. The remark frames Oman’s role in regional diplomacy and any facilitation of talks as potentially harmful to U.S. objectives. It also signals a tougher posture toward Tehran following the expiration or weakening of prior understandings. Oman, which has often acted as a mediator in Gulf affairs, said it rejects actions that threaten its sovereignty as tensions remain high across the Strait of Hormuz and broader region.
