In a series of notable global developments, US President Donald Trump has threatened military action against Oman, insisting that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all nations. This comes amid rising tensions in the region and a rejection of joint oversight with Iran. Meanwhile, France and Norway have established a new defence pact in Paris, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store emphasizing that Europe faces its most severe security crisis since World War II. In Bolivia, President Rodrigo Paz warned that the country is nearing a breaking point due to ongoing protests and critical shortages of food, fuel, and medicines, stemming from his unpopular economic policies.
