Trump threatens US ally to ‘behave’ over Strait of Hormuz dispute

Donald Trump
  • President Donald Trump threatened to 'blow up' Oman if it did not comply with his demands regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz .
  • Trump linked a potential peace agreement with Iran to Oman and other nations signing the Abraham Accords, a U.S.-led treaty encouraging the normalization of diplomatic ties with Israel.
  • The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for nearly 90 days, causing significant disruption to global oil and natural gas shipping routes and a spike in energy prices.
  • During a Cabinet meeting, Trump stated he might not sign a peace deal with Iran unless Middle Eastern nations acquiesced to signing the Abraham Accords.
  • Concerns are growing in Washington, with waning congressional support and neoconservative pressure for stricter conditions on any deal with Iran, including the full destruction of its nuclear program.
