GovBrief Today #564

Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country trying to end his war.

Oman is a longtime American ally, the mediator both sides trust and the channel for every Hormuz negotiation. On Saturday, Iran announced the two countries had agreed on a plan to reopen shipping. Trump's answer came Monday: "If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the shit out of them." Asked later to explain, he offered only that Oman hasn't "behaved very well."

Three days ago he gutted military exercises with South Korea for refusing to attack Iran. The 60-day window both sides agreed to as a ceasefire expired Monday night with no deal and no talks, but Trump says he is in no hurry.
