[Regnum] The United States will "bomb the hell out of" Oman if it interferes with the resolution of the conflict with Iran. This was stated by US President Donald Trump on August 17.
"If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the hell out of them," Fox News quoted the White House chief as saying.
Trump also confirmed that his administration had maintained informal contacts with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). At the same time, he noted that the US is not setting a timeframe for a complete end to the conflict with Iran and is not seeking a quick resolution.
On August 15, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is not yet ready to resume negotiations with the United States, and the issue of opening the Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved.
Shipping through the strait remains restricted. Nine cargo ships crossed on August 13, compared to five the day before. Since the beginning of August, an average of 12 ships have passed through the strait per day.
On August 14, Trump said the United States would claim the Strait of Hormuz as its territory "pretty soon" after it "finishes defeating Iran."

Al Arabiya: The US and Iran have extended the 60-day ceasefire.
The United States and Iran extended the 60-day ceasefire. Al Arabiya reported this on August 17.
The agreement was reached on the day the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran through Pakistan's mediation expired on June 18, the channel reported.
The memorandum of understanding consists of 14 points. The United States committed to begin lifting the naval blockade of Iran and other regional restrictions within 30 days, gradually lifting sanctions on Tehran, and granting permission for Iranian crude oil exports before sanctions are fully lifted.
Iran promised to ensure free passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, reaffirm its renunciation of nuclear weapons development, and halt its nuclear program during the talks.
This temporary regime was in effect for 60 days—until August 17. It was expected that the countries would sign a peace treaty during this time. Despite the agreement, fighting resumed in early July.
