Trump threatens Oman over Iran diplomacy

It is worth noting that President Pezeshkian just called the US memorandum the best path forward. That alignment suggests there is already a diplomatic window open that Oman is simply helping to keep clear.

The stockpile is one variable, but the timing with the Canada trade collapse is the real signal. He is currently applying maximum pressure across all diplomatic fronts simultaneously to accelerate the timeline.

The bombing threat feels a bit theatrical given the 2017 Syria strikes. He tends to signal extreme violence to secure a better seat at the table, not to actually demolish the table.
