President Trump has issued a threat to bomb Oman if it interferes with efforts in the Strait of Hormuz, according to The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. This comes as a 60-day deadline for a peace deal with Iran has passed, and Trump claims direct communication with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a claim the IRGC denies. The hosts criticize this approach, arguing Oman is a vital US ally and intermediary in negotiations with Iran.

WHY IT MATTERS

The US ally Oman plays a critical role in mediating US-Iran relations, and a threat of military action against it could destabilize the region and further escalate tensions.
