Oman

US President Donald Trump has threatened Oman with military action, stating "Oman must behave like everyone else, otherwise we will have to bomb them," if the country does not comply with international norms regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz. The US State Department later confirmed Trump's specific mention of Oman, despite initial speculation he may have intended to name Iran. Oman, a long-standing US ally, has not publicly expressed any desire to cooperate with Iran on managing the strategic waterway.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for enhanced unity and cooperation among Muslim countries to effectively address regional challenges and tensions in West Asia. He emphasized this need during telephone conversations with leaders of several Muslim nations ahead of Eid al-Adha, expressing hope for closer hearts and comprehensive support in the "face of threats."
