Trump again called on Iran to surrender and raise a white flag as a sign of peace.<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has warned that Oman could face heavy bombing<\/a> if it obstructs US efforts concerning Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, as a 60-day ceasefire understanding between the United States and Iran expires amid continuing tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, Trump said the United States could launch a major bombing campaign against Oman if the Gulf state stood in the way of Washington\u2019s efforts over the strategic waterway.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s warning is particularly notable because Oman has traditionally played an important diplomatic and mediating role between the United States and Iran and has served as a channel for communication between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Trump again called on Iran to surrender and raise a white flag as a sign of peace. He described Iran\u2019s leaders as \u201cgood poker players\u201d but said the country was facing serious difficulties.<\/p>\n

As the 60-day period under the US-Iran ceasefire understanding came to an end, Trump said there was no fixed timetable for dealing with Iran and that he was not in a hurry. He said Washington\u2019s main priority remained preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Trump also rejected reports that the United States had significantly depleted its stockpiles of advanced weapons, including Patriot missiles and Tomahawk cruise missiles, during the conflict.<\/p>\n

He downplayed the amount of US weaponry used in the fighting, saying that America had used only a very small portion of its available arsenal.<\/p>\n
