Trump Threatens to Bomb US Ally Oman if it 'Gets in the Way' Over Iran Deal The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, has been at the center of a delicate diplomatic dance between Iran and its adversaries for months.
President Donald Trump's recent threat to bomb Oman, a US ally, if it "gets in the way" of his administration's talks with Tehran, raises more questions than answers about Washington's motivations and potential consequences for regional stability.
Oman has played a key role in negotiating with Iran to reopen the Strait, which was largely closed following the US Iran conflict that began in February.
