Washington (ANTARA) - President Donald Trump warned Oman on\nWednesday, 27 May, not to interfere in fragile negotiations with Iran,\nclaiming the US would \u2018monitor\u2019 the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
When asked if he would accept a short-term deal allowing Iran and\nOman to control the strategic waterway, Trump told reporters at a\nCabinet meeting at the White House: \u2018No, the Strait of Hormuz will be\nopen to all parties.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018The Strait is international waters. No one will control it. We will\nmonitor it. We will certainly monitor it, but no one will control it,\u2019\nTrump said. \u2018This is part of the negotiations we are conducting.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Oman must act like other countries, or we will have to destroy\nthem,\u2019 Trump warned.<\/p>\n
The statement came after Iran\u2019s state television reported that it had\nobtained an unofficial draft of a US-Iran agreement that would restore\ncommercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels\nwithin a month, with Iran and Oman jointly managing traffic.<\/p>\n
The framework also includes lifting US sanctions on Iranian ports and\nwithdrawing US military forces from the region surrounding Iran.<\/p>\n
The US has denied Iran\u2019s report, calling it \u2018pure fabrication\u2019.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/trump-warns-oman-not-to-interfere-in-us-iran-talks-1780013017", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
