President Donald Trump issues a warning to Oman during high tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the United States would not allow any arrangement that lets Oman work with Iran to impose fees or otherwise manage the strategic waterway. Speaking to reporters at a White House cabinet meeting, Trump rejects the idea of a temporary or joint management deal, calling the strait an international passage open to all countries. He says no single country should dominate the route and adds that Oman must “behave” or the United States would take military action.

Several reports describe Trump’s comments as a threat to strike Oman if it agrees to cooperate with Iran in a settlement framework related to the Iran-US situation. Other outlets frame the remarks as a response to discussion of possible Iranian involvement in arrangements affecting shipping transiting the strait. Across coverage, the core points are Trump’s insistence that control of Hormuz remains international and his warning to Oman against aligning with Iran on fees or control mechanisms.
