Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it obstructs developments with Iran, according to Fox News reports. The 60-day US-Iran truce, which has already been violated repeatedly, expires Monday without an agreement on how the Strait of Hormuz should be managed.

President Donald Trump said the Pentagon was instructed to make a substantial reduction in its joint exercises with South Korea, arguing that the drills are costly and send a signal to North Korea.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that British Prime Minister Andy Burnham had communicated with a person purporting to be Susie Wiles. The source placed Wiles among Trump’s closest advisers and identified her as White House chief of staff.

President Donald Trump confirmed that U.S. officials are communicating with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps through a backchannel as the 60-day ceasefire deadline expires.

Fox News says Trump issued a threat against Oman, saying the country could be bombed if it hindered the US blockade of Iranian shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
