Strait of Tensions: Trump's Oman Threat and the Stalemate with Iran The 60 day negotiation window has closed, but the war with Iran remains stuck in neutral.
President Trump's latest threat to bomb Oman if it "gets in the way" of US efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is a stark reminder that this conflict is not just about regime change or economic interests, but also about who controls the region's most critical waterway.
The idea that Oman, a small country with limited military capabilities, poses a significant threat to the US is far fetched.
