Oman walks a tightrope amid Trump's threats to 'blow them up'

In a surprising turn of events, Oman, a key mediator in the Middle East, finds itself in an uncomfortable position following President Trump's alarming threat to "blow them up" during a cabinet meeting. This came after reports suggested Oman might join Iran in controlling and taxing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's remark underscores the escalating tensions and the U.S.'s aggressive stance against Iran, putting Oman in a challenging diplomatic bind. This development highlights the precarious nature of regional politics and the potential consequences for global trade routes.
