On one hand, peace talks are going on between America and Iran, on the other hand, US President Trump has once again issued a threat on the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said that if Oman supports Iran in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, America will attack it. Oman is an ally of America. However, Trump did not give any information about what steps America will take in this matter for the movement of ships without any hindrance. It is being told that America has once again claimed to attack Iran and has also shot down 4 drones.
Why did Trump say this?
Actually, Trump was asked whether he would approve any such agreement which would allow Iran and the Gulf countries to control this important route. Donald Trump responded by saying that Oman will have to behave like everyone else, otherwise we will attack and destroy them. Trump said that this strait will be open to everyone. This is international waters and Oman will have to behave like everyone else, otherwise we will attack and destroy them too. He said that he understands this and everything will be fine.
Oman is an important ally of America, which has tried to mediate in the Middle East and has itself been a victim of attacks by Tehran. But there is every possibility that whatever Donald Trump said, he was saying every word with complete seriousness. Because later the US State Department released a video clip and written statement on Trump’s statement about Oman. No correction or clarification was given in this.
‘Not satisfied with Iran’s proposal’
The American and Iranian delegations are continuing to negotiate on the points of a peace agreement, while Donald Trump said that he is not yet satisfied with Iran’s proposal for an agreement. This came to light when Iranian state television broadcast information which it claimed was part of a draft agreement.
Addressing the Cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump further said that he is in no hurry to reach an agreement to end the Middle East war.
