Donald Trump’s threat to bomb Oman, a long-standing American ally in the Persian Gulf, reflects both his administration’s deepening frustration with the war against Iran and Washington’s declining influence in the region.

The report covers claims from multiple parties, including U.S. threats and Iranian denials, maintaining a standard news reporting style.
