“Oman not to interfere”, Trump: Hormuz Strait will be open to all, US will oversee

Trump also warned Oman not to interfere.

“Oman will act the same as everyone else or we will have to blow up”, the president said.

Asked if he would accept a short-term agreement that would allow Iran and Oman to control the critical waterway, Trump said: “No, the strait will be open to all”.

There are international waters. No one will control it. We'll be watching him. We'll monitor him, but no one will control him. This is part of the negotiations we have”, he added.

Iran has insisted that austerity management has nothing to do with the US, but will be co-ordinated with Oman, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday. This is a condition that other Iranian officials have repeated.
