US Iran War Update | Trump Threatens Oman | Breaking News | Samaa Global


President issues threat to ‘bomb the shit out of them’ after previously threatening Gulf ally in May

Donald Trump has again threatened to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of his effort to end the US-Israel war on Iran.

The US president delivered the threat of Monday as he struggles to draw the conflict to a conclusion, almost six months after it was launched.

While Trump has repeatedly claimed the war would end “soon”, and talked up the prospect of a lasting peace deal in recent months, such a breakthrough has yet to materialize.

The strait of Hormuz – a crucial chokepoint for global trade, through which about a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil supplies typically pass – has been all but closed since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in February.

Iran is to the north of the strait. Oman is to the south. The two countries have been in talks over control of the strait.

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump told Fox News on Monday. In a casual aside at a cabinet meeting in May, the president also threatened to “blow up” the country if it failed to “behave”.

It comes after Trump also threatened to declare the strait of Hormuz as “a territory of the United States” during a speech on Friday.
