Trump Warns Oman Against Interfering in Iran Talks Over Strait of HormuzPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump warned Oman against interfering in talks between Iran and Oman over control of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening military action if Oman obstructs US efforts. Trump confirmed a backchannel with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and stated he was not in a hurry to resolve the conflict. Iran and Oman have been negotiating a transit arrangement for ships through the strategic waterway, a key route for global oil shipments. Trump also called on Iran to surrender amid ongoing tensions.
