U.S. President Donald Trump is angry with Oman over its talks with Iran about managing the Strait of Hormuz that lies between the countries. Trump this week threatened to bomb the sultanate if it “gets in the way.” This comes as Trump faces pressure over his promises for a quick war and a weakened Iran. Talks between the U.S. and Iran have stalled, while Oman and Iran continue discussions. Oman had been trying to mediate peace but is now caught between the powers. It's unclear if Trump's threat will impact Oman’s negotiations with Iran as global economic pressures grow as well.
