U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if the Gulf state “gets in the way” of Washington’s efforts to reach a deal with Iran. Multiple outlets report the president makes the warning in the context of Oman’s role in discussions related to the Strait of Hormuz.
The reports say the remarks follow weeks of parallel engagement between Oman and Iran over a provisional arrangement to manage maritime transit through the strategic waterway. One account adds that Iran and Oman say they have reached an understanding on a route map, while negotiations continue and tensions persist around reopening and operating through the Strait of Hormuz.
Outlets vary mainly in how they quote or characterize Trump’s language, with some repeating more graphic wording from reported remarks. The core substance is consistent across sources: Trump frames the threat as conditional on Oman interfering with U.S. diplomacy involving Iran, while reporting also emphasizes Oman–Iran talks over shipping arrangements in the Strait.
