Washington, May 28, 2026 – US President Donald Trump ne Wednesday ko Oman ko "behave" karne ya tabah hone ki chunauti di, jab unse poocha gaya ki kya wo Iran aur Oman ke joint control wale short-term arrangement ko accept karenge. Strait of Hormuz ka control bahut sensitive hai.
White House ke cabinet meeting ke daura reporters se baat karte hue Trump ne emphatically kaha ki strait sabke liye khula rahega aur kisi bhi ek country ka control nahi hoga.
"No, the strait is going to be open to everybody," Trump ne kaha. "It's international waters aur Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up. They understand that, they'll be fine." President ne clarify nahi kiya ki kya wo Iran ki jagah Oman keh rahe the — yeh point White House press pool ne uthaaya tha. White House ne is mix-up par koi response nahi diya.
Trump ke yeh latest remarks Strait of Hormuz par badh rahi tensions ke baad aaye hain. Is strait se duniya ke oil supply ka 1/5 hissa normally guzarta hai. Iran ne plan bataya hai ki wo strait par ships se toll lena shuru karenge aur revenues Oman ke saath share karenge. US aur Israel ne February 28 ko Iran par attacks kiye the, jisse regional stability aur kharab hui hai. Middle East war khatam karne aur strait ko dobara kholne ki negotiations bhi stuck hain.
May 24 ko Oman ke Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi aur Iran ke Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi Muscat mein mile the aur Strait of Hormuz par navigation aur maritime security par baat ki thi. Omani delegation ko Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi ka verbal message bhi mila, jismein donon countries ne international law ke mutaabiq safe aur sustainable navigation restore karne ki commitment dobara se zahaar ki thi.
Iranian state media ne pehle bhi report kiya tha ki Iran aur US ke beech ek unofficial draft agreement hai, jismein commercial shipping pre-conflict level tak ek mahine mein restore hone ka claim hai, aur Iran-Oman maritime traffic ko oversee karenge. Proposed framework ke hisaab se US reportedly apni blockade Iran ke ports par hataayega aur Iran ke paas se military forces withdraw karega. Lekin US State Department ne is report ko "complete fabrication" bata diya.
Trump ke comments tab aaye hain jab unki statements par confusion hai. Is saal ke shuru mein unhone galat kaha tha ki Venezuela "no longer has a navy, no longer has an air force" — yeh baat wo pehle Iran ke liye bhi keh chuke hain. US-backed removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January ko reason bataya gaya tha.
Oman, jo long-standing US ally hai, Middle East conflict mein mediator ki bhi role nibha raha hai aur Iran ke attacks ka shikaar bhi hua hai. In challenges ke baavjood Muscat Tehran ke saath diplomatic engagement jari rakh raha hai. Trump ke latest threats se US stance aur hard ho rahi hai, jab diplomatic efforts crisis de-escalate karne mein fail hote nazar aa rahe hain — yeh sab unke deal near hone ke kuch din baad hi ho raha hai.
