U.S president, Donald Trump threatened to attack Oman Wednesday, May 27, if the Arab nation partners with Iran to assert joint control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has discussed partnering with Oman to charge tolls on ships passing through the strategic waterway. Nobodys going to control it. Thats part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it, Trump said at a cabinet meeting this week. Its international waters, and Oman will behave just like everybody else, or well have to blow them up. They understand that. Theyll be fine. The State Department tweeted a video Trumps warning indicating the US government wasnt shying away from the threat. US and Iranian negotiators are working to finalize a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping without tolls and allow additional time for an agreement on the fate of Irans highly enriched uranium stockpiles. Trump, 79, added at the cabinet meeting that if a deal is not agreed, well have to just finish the job militarily.
