US President Donald Trump made controversial remarks threatening Oman during discussions about the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that Oman must 'behave' or face dire consequences. His comments came amid stalled negotiations with Iran regarding the waterway, which is crucial for global oil transit. The White House did not clarify whether Trump misspoke, as Oman is a key US ally. Meanwhile, Israel's military declared southern Lebanon a combat zone, warning residents to evacuate north due to potential military actions against Hezbollah. This declaration follows more than 120 strikes in the region and comes as over 1.2 million Lebanese have been displaced since March due to ongoing conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that further action is necessary to protect northern Israel from Hezbollah threats. As tensions rise, Iran has indicated a desire for a deal, although the US remains unsatisfied with current proposals, leading to a complex geopolitical landscape in the region.
