Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it ‘gets in the way’
The Washington Post reports:
BLUF: The threat came in response to a question about negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a reporter.

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to bomb Oman, which has been in talks with Iran about a solution to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump’s threat, during an interview with Fox News, came on the day that the memorandum of understanding intended to achieve a durable peace with Iran officially expired.
The MOU, signed in June, established a 60-day truce period and specifically declared that “Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman, to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz.”
The ceasefire collapsed last month amid renewed airstrikes, but Monday marked the formal end of the 60-day truce period.
Trump told Fox News that the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is working, and that although the Iranians may be good “poker players,” they are suffering economically.
Asked about the negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding control of the strait, Trump said, “If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the s--- out of them,” according to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, who was recounting his conversation with Trump.
According to Yingst, Trump also said that Iran should “wave the white flag of surrender,” but the president indicated he did not have a timetable for ending the war.

The comments express strong disapproval and concern over President Donald Trump's actions and rhetoric, particularly regarding his threat to bomb Oman, a U.S. ally.
Many commenters criticize his mental fitness, leadership style, and the negative impact on U.S. international relations.
There are calls for his removal from office, citing his behavior as erratic and dangerous, with some suggesting the use of the 25th Amendment.
Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly negative, with fears about the consequences of his presidency.
My comments:
Does the Apricot Antichrist even realize that the Sultanate of Oman has been our ally since 1980? Of course he doesn’t.
