U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a new warning to Iran, stating he would not hesitate to bomb Oman if the country intervenes in American actions related to Iran. According to reports from several agencies, Trump emphasized that his priority is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

The 60-day ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is nearing expiration, raising concerns about security in the region. Maritime traffic activity in the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to historic lows, highlighting the escalating tension in this key route for international trade.

Trump underscored that any obstruction from Oman could trigger a military response. Meanwhile, the lack of an agreement between the U.S. and Iran continues to exacerbate insecurity in the area.

The situation is further complicated by clashes between U.S. forces and Iranian interests, prompting various international actors to express their concern.

The current crisis, while centered on the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, also puts Oman in a delicate position due to its strategic role in the Middle East. The international community remains watchful of how events will unfold in the coming days.
