Diplomatic friction between the United States and Oman has centered on maritime security and navigation policies in the Strait of Hormuz. While the United States advocates for an expanded naval presence and coordinated security coalitions to protect international shipping, Oman maintains a non-aligned diplomatic approach that prioritizes regional dialogue, including relations with Iran. Because the primary commercial transit lanes run through Omani territorial waters, Muscat has raised concerns that increased foreign military posturing risks escalating tensions in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
- The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global trade chokepoint responsible for the transit of roughly 20 percent of the world’s petroleum supply.
- The United States has sought enhanced international naval patrols to counter maritime disruptions and enforce navigation rights.
- Oman maintains sovereignty over key navigational channels located off its Musandam Peninsula coastline.
- Muscat advocates for diplomatic de-escalation rather than heightened Western military presence, seeking to preserve balanced regional ties.
- The disagreement highlights broader tensions between international security mandates and regional sovereignty in strategic waterways.

I truly enjoy this American state series been bing watching for several days now. So this is Key West looks like, this is my first time seeing it. Wow, your travel is deep, from corner to corner. How many days did this take? Brian, your sense of humor is 😅 funny. Key lime pie is the best but be careful, it is a lot of sugar.
Old man threatening to bomb people when he doesn't get his way,I wouldn't like to play that man at Scrabble in the care home
Other than a few toothless Okies the the US, the whole world thinks Trump is a complete fool
Idk how many times we need to be told “ how important the strait is” pressure we already know how important it’s
Is the Strait in the Gulf of America?
Oman better get in line or face the wrath 🤔🤔🤭🤭
Someone stop this madman ffs who dose he think he is?
It’s because he knows he can’t win against Iran so he just throws a temper tantrum. This is not the first time he’s done this.
Trump says, “After Oman we’ll bomb Florida. Too many people in the state. They tell me this is the best way to get people to move. I’ve got more targets. I’ll let you know.”
What a great guest!
Trum wants to cash in himself on the tolls in the Strait of Hormuz and he wants to use Oman to get to it. Trump wants % of the cheese!
the american elites are unworthy of ruling their country, to put for the second time such a troubled man, and knowing the evil he has done in his first term… if we put aside the crazy rethoric and the bs coming from Trump, the truth is that the US entered a strategic failure, and the longer the strait will remain closed, the bigger the prejudice and the damage to the US reputation in the Golf would be. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan already signed a defense treaty in order to be less dependant from the US, they don't say it but they think that Trump created an unprovoked mess in the region, and in a gratuitous way. iran is saying that for the sin of killing the suprem's guide father, the Strait will remain closed as long as Trump will stay in office , so technically until 2029, i don't know if this is only rethoric or if they are serious about it… There is also the risk that they will be helped by China, in that case things may get really sour… Trump has already done a catastrophic failure in Africa in his first term, and now the closing of the Ormuz Strait and the impeding of the international trade, but my fear, is that he is here for two years to come, and he could do other mistakes and trigger other crises, with North Korea, China, or i don't know where
The dealmaker in chief fails to make a single deal since the day he entered office. Instead, America is weaker, poorer, and more isolated than ever before.
He’s completely lost the plot – 🤦♂
Donald Trump has withdrawn from or reneged on dozens of major international treaties, multilateral accords, and trade agreements. Economic research and trade data indicate that President Trump's tariffs broadly failed to achieve their primary objectives of shrinking the U.S. trade deficit and revitalizing American manufacturing. Instead, they functioned as massive tax increases on American consumers and businesses.
Why not! They’ve got the bombs… apparently.
The orange man wants to take credit for everything, such a petulant child
Trump is at war with iran for one reason and one reason only and its not about nuclear weapon, it is about netanyahus 40yr old dream of gpung to war with iran and usa taxpayers are financing netanyahus catastrophic evil dream
Hollow threat
Truly a global pariah and an existential threat to humanity…..
No wonder he speaks like a toddler. Only bombing bombing bombing.
That's basically threatening to bomb Middle East's Switzerland
🇨🇦 Canada is blessed with PM Mark Carney, now a World leader and transforming Canada to fulfil its DESTINY 🇨🇦
🇨🇦 Some Holy Writings – Food for Thought and Reflection.🇨🇦
The essence of the Vision of Canadas Destiny written 109 years ago by Abdu'l-Baha, Haifa Israel, February 21, 1917……
"To the Baha'is of Canada and Greenland ….the future of the Dominion of Canada however, is very great, and the events connected with it infinitely glorious. It shall become the object of the glance of providence, and shall show forth the bounties of the All-Glorious – Again I repeat that the future of Canada, whether from a material or a spiritual standpoint, is very great. Day by day civilization and freedom shall increase.” In all the Holy Writings of the Baha’i Faith, no other Country has received such praises.
🇨🇦 The Báb (The Gate, 1819-1850) On May 23, 1840, declared the coming of the long awaited "Promised One”, like John the Baptist was martyred July 9, 1850 in Tabriz Iran, 1st. by a Persian regiment of 750 soldiers all missing, then by a Russian regiment, upon which an earthquake and plague struck, with most soldiers dying by falling stones or later for desertion.
….. ""Thy loving providence hath encompassed all created things in the heavens and on the earth, and Thy forgiveness hath surpassed the whole creation. Thine is sovereignty; in Thy hand are the Kingdoms of Creation and Revelation; in Thy right hand Thou holdest all created things and within Thy grasp are the assigned measures of forgiveness. Thou forgivest whomsoever among Thy servants Thou pleasest. Verily Thou art the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving. Nothing whatsoever escapeth Thy knowledge, and naught is there which is hidden from Thee," The Bab.
🇨🇦 On April 29,1863, the most prominent Babi in the Garden of Ridvan in Bagdad, proclaimed to be "The Promised One,” taking the title Baha’u’llah (The Glory of God, 1817-1892). In 1852, loosing all material possessions and cast in a deep dungeon jail for four months became aware of his destiny, later writing ……“When I contemplate, O my God, the relationship the bindeth me to Thee, I am moved to proclaim to all created things “verily I am God”; and when I consider my own self, lo, find it courser than clay.” Before his passing the evening of May 29, 1892, Baha’u’llah had written over 15,000 tablets and epistles. His Will designated his oldest son Abdu'l Baha, (Servant of God, 1850-1921) born the evening of the Bab's declaration, the Head of The Baha’i Faith.
🇨🇦 Abdu’l-Baha, now 68 after 56 years an exile and prisoner, in 1912 traveled to America declining a ticket on the Titanic for a less expensive ship to New York. He spent 239 days, travelling to Montreal and the US West Coast via Chicago. He visited 44 localities in 15 States plus Quebec and Toronto, giving 351 talks to over 86,000 people, with hundreds of Newspaper articles written, becoming known as "The Prophet of Peace," foretelling the coming of WW1. Later Knighted by the British for his humanitarian work in Palestine during WW1.
🇨🇦 In Chicago, where the magnificent Baha'i Temple now stands in Willamette, meeting Rabindranath Tagore, (1861-1941) forming a life long friendship that transcended time and place, even adopting Abdul Bahas manor of dress. In 1913 Tagore received the Nobel Award for his Poetry then becoming India’s foremost contemporary Cultural Icon. Writing both India's and Bangladesh’s National Anthems, founding many schools, universities and a prominent writer and artist.Tagore continued his relationship with the Bahai’s. At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, New York City Dec. 7, 1930 saying, …”The first Prophet whom we know in the history of man was Zoroaster, born in Persia who preached the oneness of God where arose another great prophet of the modern age. Baha’u’llah, who also preached God as profoundly one, in all races, tribes, and sects, the true worship of whom consists in service that has reason for it’s guide, and goodness and love for its inner motive purpose. We are here tonight to offer our homage to Baha’u’llah. He is the latest Prophet to come out of Asia. His life is certainly a glorious record of unflinching human search after truth; and his message is of great importance for the progress of civilization.”.

🇨🇦 Baha’i Faith believes in the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Man & the fundamental Oness of all Religions 🇨🇦
I can tell you why. Trump's tantrum is because he has shown the world that he is irrelevant and incompetent, and what he wants doesn't matter. Except in his impeachment and criminal trials.
Trump, the first American Paper Tiger President. PT-POTUS
Just remember folks what we were talking about right before the war–the Epstien files!!!
he's such a low-life
The only positive thing coming out of this whole situation is that Greenland is still not invaded by the U.S.
Qatar has it coming, too
Worked so well in Iran. Let's threaten more countries! Strait still closed. We don't need a drop of oil from there so we don't care! Except the price of gasoline is set by the global market. If the price rises it rises for everyone regardless if they need oil from the strait or not. Yeah but most Americans don't really know that to be true. That's good enough! By the time they figure that out the war will be over. Oops! We know he's a brilliant businessman because he told us he was in the book he didn't write! The fleecing of America continues.
Don’t worry about anything grandpa says
Whatever happens to his hope to win the Nobel peace prize
Ms Sutcliffe is one of the few ME analysts I most trust to enhance my understanding of the current situation and what may lie ahead. Very impressed by her fluency in her area of expertise. She's a great guest to have
America is as loathsome as Russia. …..
