US President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if it gets in the way of efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
– “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News on Monday.
– Iran said last week it was in talks with Oman over the reopening of the strategic waterway.
– Trump also said his administration had opened a direct backchannel with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) but added he was in no rush to end the conflict, according to Fox News.
– “They’re good poker players, but they’re dying,” Trump said of the IRGC. “I have no time schedule. I’m not in a hurry.”
