## Resource

The U.S. is escalating pressure on Oman to sever ties with Iran, especially over alleged Iranian-Omani cooperation on tolls in the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint for global oil. Once seen as a neutral mediator in U.S.-Iran talks, Oman now faces sharp criticism from Washington, with Treasury warning of sanctions and Trump demanding allies uphold freedom of navigation. Iran continues to push Oman to resist U.S. demands, heightening regional tensions as the U.S. draws a hard line: no more playing both sides.
