Kathmandu— President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows and concerns over his recent public threats, including a statement that he would “bomb the shit out of” Oman if it gets in the way of U.S. interests in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes amid ongoing tensions with Iran and Trump's controversial declaration to make the strait part of U.S. territory.

Trump's Public Threats

In a recent interview, President Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes with his plans for the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil trade. This statement has drawn criticism and concern from both domestic and international observers.

Strait of Hormuz as U.S. Territory

Trump has also declared that after defeating Iran, he will make the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States. This claim has been met with skepticism and concern over its legality and implications for regional stability.

Ongoing Tensions With Iran

The president's threats come in the context of an ongoing conflict with Iran, which he launched six months ago. Trump has also announced economic sanctions against any country that continues to trade with Iran, potentially including China.
