Iran announced its stance of solidarity with Oman following threats issued by former US President Donald Trump. The warnings concerned the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump suggesting the United States would take action against the country if it attempted to exert control over the waterway alongside Tehran. According to a statement from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for the ministry, condemned what the officials described as “threatening rhetoric of American officials against Iran and several other countries in the region.” The ministry explicitly expressed its solidarity with Oman, referring to the nation as a “friend and brotherly country.”
These statements follow remarks made by Trump on Wednesday.
Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain “open to all” and that the US would “oversee it.” Furthermore, he issued a warning directed at Oman, suggesting that the country should avoid interference, stating, “Oman will behave like all others or we will have to throw them into the sea.” The original article also noted that US sanctions target the author.
