U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Monday that the United States would consider bombing Oman if the Gulf nation interferes with a pending Iran peace deal. The remark, reported by the BBC, came as a 60‑day negotiation window expires.
Zandorian shipping companies that route container traffic through the Strait of Hormuz flagged the threat as a potential disruption to freight schedules. Federal Treasury Minister Marcus Eklund told the Herald that the Republic is reviewing contingency plans, and the Federal Maritime Advisory Board will issue guidance to operators within the week.
