Threatened to bomb Oman
In fact, when asked about parallel talks between Iran and Oman over control of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said, “If Oman comes in the way, we will bomb them heavily.” The US President further indicated that despite Tehran’s public statements, the US naval blockade is placing new economic pressure on the Iranian government. He said Iranians are “good poker players” but they are “getting ruined”. He also said that the US midterm elections to be held in November have nothing to do with his thinking.

America has a large number of weapons
Trump also talked about the low US arms stockpile in the Middle East, saying, “What we have used so far is very modest.” He said the US has a large number of medium-level weapons, while many more advanced systems were given to Ukraine by former President Joe Biden, including air defense systems vital to the region. Trump’s comments come at a time when Tehran and Muscat are negotiating to create a system for safe commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The two countries had finalized a joint shipping route map for the maritime corridor after weeks of technical talks.

Ceasefire with Iran ending
Let us tell you that America has a military base in Oman. American forces are using this base during the war with Iran. Even after this, Trump’s threat to Oman is surprising. The 60-day limited ceasefire between America and Iran is also ending today. But during this period there has been no concrete discussion between the two countries regarding ending the war. However, today Trump has claimed that America is talking to IRGC through backchannel. Trump said that now Iran has no option but to surrender. It would be better if Iran’s forces surrender before America.
