Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it gets in way of Iran deal

President Donald Trump threatened Monday to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of a U.S. deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and called for Tehran to surrender in a war that has become a growing political burden. Control of the waterway, which Iran has effectively closed since the conflict began on February 28, remains at the heart of the deadlock between Tehran and Washington. With whipsawing fuel prices and public opposition to the war weighing on Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections, Trump has faced mounting pressure to end a stalemate that has dragged on for nearly six months.
