On Monday, President Donald Trump indicated that he may expand the U.S.\u2019s unauthorized and illegal war on Iran to include attacks on Oman, if that country continues negotiations with Tehran over control of the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

Trump made the remarks in a call to Fox News <\/em>reporter Trey Yingst, who relayed it on the air during a \u201cFox & Friends\u201d segment. Yingst had asked Trump about reports that Oman and Iran were discussing how to manage the strait, through which a large portion of the world\u2019s oil is shipped.<\/p>\n

Both the U.S. and Iran have set up blockades in the Strait of Hormuz during the war, driving up the costs of oil and gas since the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n

Responding to those reports, Trump told Yingst, \u201cIf Oman gets in the way, we\u2019ll bomb the shit out of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also demanded that Iran \u201craise the white flag of surrender,\u201d and indicated that he was in no rush to end the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no time schedule, I\u2019m in no hurry,\u201d Trump reportedly said. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s threats to Oman \u2014 which is categorized as a strategic partner of Washington\u2019s \u2014 come as the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed in June, officially ended this week. That agreement was initially reached as a means to negotiate a larger plan to end the war, which never materialized.<\/p>\n

Notably, both sides had already acknowledged several weeks ago that the MOU was no longer in effect, due to accusations between the countries that the agreement had been violated, and hostilities resuming shortly after it was signed. <\/p>\n

Still, with the MOU coming to an official close as of Monday, it could result in an increase in hostilities by both the U.S. and Iran in the days and weeks ahead. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s comments to Fox News <\/em>are not the first time he has threatened Oman for daring to negotiate with Iran. In late May, as talks between Oman and Iran were being reported on, Trump said during a cabinet meeting that he would \u201cblow up\u201d Oman if those discussions continued. <\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s going to control it,\u201d Trump said at the time, referring to the Strait of Hormuz. \u201cWe\u2019re going to watch over it. We\u2019ll watch over it. But nobody\u2019s going to control it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Iran has attacked U.S. military interests in several countries across the Middle East, hoping that doing so would curtail Washington\u2019s attacks, the U.S. has focused its attacks on Iran. An attack on Oman would signal that the U.S. is expanding the war to include countries that Iran has negotiated with, or even potentially its allies that predated the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n
