Washington: US President Donald Trump has issued a threat to bomb Oman, an ally of the United States, as tensions rise following the passing of a 60-day ceasefire deadline. The threat came in response to Oman's efforts to mediate ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran. Trump, using an expletive, warned of bombing Oman if it interferes with the US's stance on the matter.

According to France24.com, this is not the first time Trump has directed threats towards Oman. The statement underscores the volatility of the situation as Oman attempts to facilitate dialogue between the US and Iran. The ceasefire deadline has heightened tensions, and Trump's remarks suggest a hardening of his position towards countries involved in the mediation process.

The situation remains tense as international observers watch closely to see how these developments will affect the broader geopolitical landscape. The US's relationship with Oman and other regional allies could face further challenges as the negotiations continue.
