Trump threatens to bomb Oman over Iran deal as Strait of Hormuz tensions rise

Former President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Oman, threatening military action if the nation impedes American efforts related to the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing conflict with Iran. This comes as a 60-day negotiation period for a U.S.-Iran peace agreement officially expired today with no resolution in sight. Trump's remarks follow reports of Oman engaging in separate discussions with Iran concerning future maritime arrangements in the critical Strait of Hormuz.

Concurrently, Jared Kushner, identified as President Trump's son-in-law and envoy, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. The high-stakes diplomatic engagement aims to advance a stalled 15-point peace plan for Gaza.

Kushner's meeting with Netanyahu follows his recent talks with Hamas in Egypt over the weekend, as efforts continue to push forward the peace initiative despite reported objections from the Israeli Prime Minister regarding certain aspects of the plan.
