New Delhi, May 28 -- United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday, May 27, threatened to attack US ally Oman if it sides with Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz as talks to strike a peace deal continues.

When asked if he would accept a deal to allow Iran and the Gulf state to control the crucial waterway, Donald Trump said that Oman must "behave like everybody else" or he would "blow them up."

The United States president said, "No, the strait is going to be open to everybody. It's international waters and Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up."

"They understand that, they'll be fine," he said.

He, however, did not explain the steps the US would take to allow a free passage for the vessels....
