Trump threatened to bomb Oman because he's unhappy with country's deal with Iran, officials say

The Trump administration has told Oman it is opposed to parts of the yet-to-be-announced deal, including the joint Iranian and Omani management of the exit route out of the passage that’s critical to global supplies of oil and natural gas.
