What happened
Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if the country interfered with a deal regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. This threat came amid ongoing talks between Oman and Iran concerning a joint shipping route, which would involve Iranian supervision for vessels entering the corridor and Omani jurisdiction for those exiting. Iran has asserted control over the strait, which it closed at the start of the Middle East war.
