“The White House for weeks promised that Iran was close to signing a nuclear deal and that Oman could be helpful in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The tiny Gulf nation suddenly found itself at the center of the effort to end the war,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“This deal, however, has proved elusive. And President Trump’s frustration with this standoff prompted him to threaten to bomb Oman on Monday, as he alleged the country might be standing in the way of an agreement.”
Said Trump: “I don’t think they behaved very well, but we’d handle them very easily just like we do others.”
Mother Jones: Trump burns allies over Iran. South Korea and Oman are next.
