(Iranian Foreign Ministry via AP, File)\n<\/div><span>Expand<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Trump is not happy about emerging Oman-Iran deal<\/h4>\n<p>Trump threatened Oman because he\u2019s not happy that it\u2019s close to a deal with Iran over the strait, two regional officials said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is under pressure. He vowed a quick war and a weakened Iran, along with a better deal on Tehran\u2019s nuclear program. Instead, Iran has seized on the Strait of Hormuz as a new weapon in talks, asserting control of what had been seen as an international waterway before the war.<\/p>\n<p>U.S.-Iran negotiations have dried up. This week ended the 60-day period that launched when the U.S. and Iran signed an interim agreement. It had been meant to open the way for more detailed talks. There\u2019s no sign of it being extended. Trump now says there are no planned talks with Iran.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So the only confirmed discussions happening now are between Iran and Oman about shipping on the strait. These have been going on for weeks. Oman hasn\u2019t said much about them publicly. Tehran says they\u2019re finalizing a joint statement. There\u2019s widespread thinking that Iran is not in much of a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has made plenty of threats against Iran. Now he\u2019s venting his frustration at Oman, too.<\/p>\n<h4>The sultanate had been trying to make peace<\/h4>\n<p>Oman, with a population of just over 5 million, is one of the quieter actors in the Gulf. Unlike other regional states, it hasn\u2019t been targeted during the war in the way that Tehran has lashed out at neighbors hosting U.S. military personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Oman has allowed the U.S. military to use its facilities, though Washington has described defense relations as smaller in scale compared with Gulf neighbors like the United Arab Emirates.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Oman\u2019s leaders have preferred engagement with Iran. The sultanate has been involved in mediation efforts, but that work is now being driven by Qatar and Pakistan.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3874\">ABC sues FCC over challenge to its broadcast licenses, saying actions present \u2018existential threat\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s focus has turned more toward Oman since the interim agreement was signed. Not long after the signing, the relative calm was shattered when Iran started firing at ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz near the Oman coast on a route supported by the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Now Oman is in discussions that appear to be driven by Iran, which has described the talks as aiming to \u201cdevelop mechanisms to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz while respecting the sovereign rights and sovereignty of both coastal states, as well as Iran\u2019s security and national interests.\u201d The mechanisms might include fees.<\/p>\n<p>Regional officials have said the emerging deal calls for ships to enter the Persian Gulf through an Iranian-controlled route and exit through a route controlled by Oman. But any deal appears to rely on the U.S. lifting its blockade of Iranian ports.<\/p>\n<p>Oman earlier this month described the talks as \u201cproceeding in a positive and constructive atmosphere,\u201d while in the same statement condemning repeated attacks on ships transiting the strait.<\/p>\n<p>After a meeting Tuesday between Oman\u2019s foreign minister and his Egyptian counterpart, Egypt said the Iranian-Omani deal could pave the way for the U.S. and Tehran to return to negotiations for a \u201ccomprehensive and permanent deal that addresses all concerns and enhances regional security and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>It is not clear what effect Trump\u2019s threat might have<\/h4>\n<p>Oman is caught between two heavily armed and stubborn powers. Meanwhile, global supplies of oil, natural gas and related goods are only able to get through the strait at a reduced level, with ships still at risk of attack.<\/p>\n<p>Since Trump\u2019s latest threat, the government\u2019s Oman News Agency has been posting about other things \u2014 the Muscat Stock Exchange, sports, imports of coffee and tea. Foreign ministry statements have focused on diplomatic meetings and greetings.<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear whether Trump\u2019s threat will make any difference in Oman\u2019s talks with Iran, including in hurrying the countries to finalize and announce a deal.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s clear that the U.S. president is passing along the growing heat his administration feels as midterm elections approach, and as the global economy watches events on the Iran-gripped strait for any sign of relief.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=3872\">When will Colorado\u2019s leaves turn gold this fall?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Associated Press writer Samy Magdy in Cairo contributed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump is angry with Oman over its talks with Iran about managing the Strait of Hormuz that lies between the countries.
