US President Donald Trump threatened devastating bombing of Oman if it obstructs efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to an August 17, 2026 report. In a Monday interview with Fox News, Trump said the United States would carry out severe bombing if Oman stood in the way of reopening the strategic waterway.
Iran is discussing with Oman the resumption of ship traffic through the strait, a major maritime route for global energy supplies. The report said tensions between the United States and Iran have intensified over the Strait of Hormuz because of its importance to worldwide energy deliveries.
Trump also said his administration had opened a direct secret communication channel, or backchannel, with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He said he was not in a hurry to end the conflict and had set no deadline. Iran said it was nearing completion of an understanding with Oman to restart commercial vessel traffic through the strait, while Trump's threat added to ongoing Middle East tensions.
