President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Oman, threatening to bomb the country if it interfered with the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal negotiations. Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that Oman's actions were "not good" and that the U.S. would "bomb them to kingdom come."
If Oman interferes with the U.S.-Iran agreement, we will bomb them to kingdom come.
The U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in June, with an initial 60-day deadline to reach agreements on issues including a ceasefire, Iran's nuclear program, and the Strait of Hormuz. However, the deadline has passed without consensus.
Trump reiterated his stance at the White House, stating, "I don't think they're doing a very good job, but we'll handle them very easily, just like we handle others." He also suggested that Iran should "raise the white flag and surrender."
I don't think they're doing a very good job, but we'll handle them very easily, just like we handle others.
When asked about extending the memorandum of understanding, Trump shook his head and said "no." He also expressed skepticism about whether the U.S. was close to reaching an agreement with Iran that would end its nuclear weapons program, suggesting that Iran's desired deal was not what he considered necessary.
I think their behavior is not good.
