Trump's Oman Bomb Threat Seen as Attempt to Get Attention, Says Former Ambassador The US President's threat to bomb Oman is not a warning, but an attempt to shock a crucial partner into submission.
Donald Trump's ultimatum follows the expiration of a 60 day window for a negotiated settlement with Iran, which failed to yield a breakthrough.
According to Marc Sievers, former US ambassador to Oman, Trump's threat is motivated more by a desire to get attention than a genuine intention to take military action.
