From Iran to Oman: Trump's expanding threat rhetoric
Analysts warn repeated brinkmanship risks destabilising volatile regions
Dubai: When US President Donald Trump warned that “Oman will behave just likeeverybody else or we’ll have to blow ’em up,”the remark appeared at first like another off-the-cuff comment during a White House Cabinet meeting.
While there was initial speculation that Trump may have misspoken and meantIran rather than Oman, the US State Department later shared the remarks on social media along with an official transcript explicitly referring to the Arab country.
The comment added Oman to a growing list of countries that Trump haseither threatened with military action, openly discussed targeting, or ordered strikes against during his two terms in office — a pattern that analysts say reflects an increasingly aggressive and unpredictable style of diplomacy.
The comment was particularly striking because Oman has traditionally served as a quiet regional mediator between Washington and Tehran and has often played a backchannel role during periods of Gulf tension.
Oman appears to be at least the 15th country that Trump has either threatened with military action, o…

Iran war: U.S. threatens sanctions and military action against Oman - CNBC
The Trump administration's threats against Oman, a longtime U.S. ally, have thrown a country known for cultivating areputationas the "Switzerland of the Middle East" firmly into the geopolitical spotlight.
Positioned on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and facing Iran across thestrategically vitalStrait of Hormuz, Oman has served as a key intermediary in regional crises, including the U.S. and Israeli-led war against Iran.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday warned the U.S. would "aggressively" impose sanctions against Oman if it helped Iran to establish a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that typicallyhandles around 20%of the world's global oil traffic.
"Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved - directly or indirectly - in facilitating tolls for the Strait and any willing partners will be penalized," Bessentsaidin a post on X.
"All nations should reject outright any efforts by Iran to disrupt the free flow of commerce."
His comments came less than 24 hours after PresidentDonald Trumpappeared to threa…
