Trump threatens Oman and rejects Iranian control of Strait of Hormuz amid negotiations.
President Donald Trump stated the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all and that the US will 'watch over' it, rejecting any deal that would give Iran or Oman control. Trump threatened Oman with attack if it cooperated with Iran on managing the waterway. The White House dismissed an Iranian state media report of a draft framework deal as untrue.
