In response to President Donald Trump's recent threats to 'blow up' Oman, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a stern warning to the Gulf nation, stressing that the United States will not accept any tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Bessent stated that the US Treasury would take aggressive action against any individuals or entities involved in facilitating such tolls, underscoring the need for all nations to reject Iran's attempts to disrupt commercial activities in the region. Trump's threats came after Iranian state media reported a draft agreement between Iran and Oman to jointly manage shipping traffic. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson criticized Trump's remarks as indicative of increasing lawlessness in international relations. The situation has intensified following a US strike on an Iranian drone operation, leading to retaliatory actions by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Despite these tensions, US officials revealed that a 60-day memorandum of understanding has been reached to extend a ceasefire and initiate discussions on nuclear issues, pending Trump's approval.
