Trump Threatens Military Action Against Oman Over Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes with U.S. negotiations regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime shipping route.

The threat follows ongoing talks between Oman and Iran regarding a joint declaration on maritime navigation, while Trump insists the strait remains under U.S. control.

Tehran, which has blockaded the waterway since February 28, 2026, maintains that the strait remains Iranian territory despite Trump's claims of U.S. authority over the region.
