TL;DR Summary

President Donald Trump said he would bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of US-Iran peace talks, tying the warning to Oman’s role as a neutral mediator over the Strait of Hormuz. Oman and Iran have been negotiating how to manage Hormuz after a 60-day MoU with the US expired, with Iran and Oman reportedly close to a joint mechanism while the US pushes for its own terms. The dispute underscores broader tensions in the region as shipping routes, sanctions, and toll issues intersect with a war that has already affected oil prices and regional security.
