Trump Threatens to 'Bomb' Oman if It 'Gets in the Way' as US Iran Ceasefire Expires President Donald Trump made a stunning statement on Monday, threatening to "bomb" Oman if it "gets in the way," further complicating already tense negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz.
This escalation of Washington's aggressive stance towards Tehran is also an attempt to bully a neutral country into submission.
The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and is one of the most critical waterways in the world, carrying over 20% of global oil exports and serving as a vital conduit for international trade.
