President Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if the country interferes with reopening the Strait of Hormuz

The administration announced that the 60-day ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran has expired without a formal agreement to end the war. During a Fox News interview, President Donald Trump stated that he is in no rush to conclude the conflict and asserted that the administration has established a direct backchannel with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. To project strength, President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it hinders the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil supplies. While Iran and Oman are currently finalizing a joint statement on a new shipping route, Iranian officials have accused the administration of relying on failed approaches. Simultaneously, US special envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss Gaza. Kushner claimed that Hamas could disarm soon if they cooperate, though he noted that trust remains a challenge given the group's past actions. Meanwhile, the administration continues to monitor the standoff as the US seeks to maintain control over the maritime blockade.
