AI Summary

President Donald Trump said during a cabinet meeting that he would “blow up” Oman if the country did not “behave” over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The comment came after reports that Iran and Oman had discussed jointly charging a toll for ships passing through the strait. Trump’s remarks followed a U.S. strike that reportedly killed four members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which in turn prompted an Iranian retaliatory attack on an American airbase in Kuwait. The U.S. is continuing negotiations to end the war, while Iran has partially lifted internet restrictions amid rising food price inflation.
