President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran would not accept the terms he deems necessary to end the war with the U.S. and should surrender, while threatening to bomb Oman if it interferes with his efforts to force a deal.
“They should put up the white flag of surrender,” Trump told Fox News in a phone interview. He added that if Oman “gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them.” The U.S. president also confirmed the U.S. would not seek an extension of the 60-day memorandum of understanding with Iran, which expired on Monday.
A vessel was struck by an unknown projectile while leaving the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday morning, a day after the MoU lapsed. The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported the attack damaged the engine room and caused a crew casualty, with the remaining crew assisted by the Omani Coast Guard. Iran’s new security chief said the Strait would remain shut until 2029, and an Iranian official told Reuters that Iranian entities must prepare to escalate tensions in the Strait and the wider region.
Trump also ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his “very good relationship” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The move follows South Korea’s refusal to support U.S. efforts in the Iran conflict. “Recently I asked if they would like to join us in the denuclearization of Iran, and they said, ‘No, thanks,’” Trump wrote on social media. South Korea’s presidency responded cautiously, stating it took note of his remarks and hoped relations between Kim and Trump would promote regional peace.
Oil prices rose on Tuesday as prospects for a deal to end the Middle East war dimmed. Brent crude futures climbed 27 cents to $91.14 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up 42 cents to $85.04 a barrel.
Congressional Democrats announced plans to introduce a war powers resolution to constrain Trump’s threats against Oman. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said he would file the measure when the Senate returns next month, arguing that Oman is a U.S. ally with a free trade agreement. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Axios that Democrats may need to file such resolutions for other countries as well.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Trump in a phone call to pursue diplomacy with Iran, offering Turkey’s support for peace efforts. Erdogan also criticized Israeli actions in Gaza, warning they undermine the peace process, according to Turkey’s Communications Directorate.
The U.S. has withdrawn its only aircraft carrier from the Asia-Pacific region, and Trump defended cuts to U.S.-South Korea military drills, citing ties with Kim Jong Un and Seoul’s refusal to assist in the Iran conflict. The annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises between the U.S. and South Korea began on Monday amid the tensions.
