Trump reportedly threatened to bomb Oman after it joined Iran in negotiating a new deal to manage ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint for global oil. The U.S. objects to joint Iranian-Omani control and fees for vessel passage, calling Oman’s stance insufficient. Tensions spiked when a projectile struck a departing ship, and Iran declared the strait closed until U.S. sanctions are lifted and frozen assets released. Trump countered on social media, insisting the strait is open — even posting a map claiming it as U.S. territory — prompting an Iranian foreign minister to call it “delusion.” Meanwhile, another ship was damaged by a projectile off Oman, and Houthi rebels claimed drone strikes on a Saudi oil refinery, deepening regional chaos.
