President Donald Trump threatened military action against Oman if the country interferes with the U.S. blockade of Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Fox News.
In a phone interview with the network, Trump said that if "Oman gets in the way we'll bomb the s—— out of them." The president added that the blockade is putting pressure on Iran and that he has no timeline for resolving the conflict, stating he isn't in a hurry.
WTI crude oil futures traded roughly flat on Monday.
Oman is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council alongside Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar. The country has maintained close ties with the U.S. while also preserving relations with Iran, frequently serving as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran.
Trump's remarks mark the first time the president has directed such language at a traditional U.S. ally in the region.

Whatever. I wish we would just do whatever we are going to do and be done with it.
Downvote me or whatever. This slow walking into middle eastern conflicts has gone on for the majority of the last 30 years.

Thats why he would hit them. If they interfere in war, which makes THEMSELVES part of the war.
NO ONE IS SAVING IRAN, period. We are being more peaceful by using blockaides, that allow us not to bomb domestic power grids, etc
If they interfere, we'll neutralize them

If he's serious about this, hopefully we allow some time to get American workers out of the country.

Perhaps we could get another couple of allies to hate us. We are done in Europe for now, let’s finish in the Middle East and can then work on South America for the trifecta.

Can you imagine this board’s reaction if Biden or Harris had threatened to bomb a ME ally over a conflict they created in Iran?

How? What is the objective? Destroy Weapons of Mass destruction capabilities.? Regime Change? Stabilize oil supply? Stop the harboring of terrorism?
Man, all of this seems so familiar. I cant seem to place it.
What is different now? How will it end any differently?

If you haven't realized that there is no 4d chess move behind this mess by now, then no one can help you. We have no idea what we're doing and Iran is increasingly taking the initiative. It turns out you can't remove an Islamic death cult with just a couple of carriers and an air campaign.

Trump is a fricking unhinged psychopath

If oman was interfering in a military operation Biden was running, I would have no problem with him threatening them.
That's because I'm America First, not Oman first.
I don't pick and choose when to support foreigners over my country like you guys.
