During a Cabinet meeting on May 27, 2026, President Donald Trump made remarks suggesting that Oman would face severe consequences if it did not comply with U.S. demands regarding the Strait of Hormuz. When asked about a potential deal involving Iran and Oman sharing control of the Strait, Trump stated, "Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up." It is unclear if he meant to refer to Iran instead. The comments come amid ongoing negotiations with Iran, which Trump described as progressing, despite the lack of a finalized agreement. He also indicated that other regional countries should join the Abraham Accords as part of any deal.
