Oman has been a US ally since 1833. I believe that they are our longest standing ally. They have been our ally through the cold war and we have had a military presence there for decades. They have been our most trustworthy ally in region for a very, very long time.
Apparently, Iran announced a proposal that Oman would help monitor the steps of opening the strait. Trump reacted by threatening to blow up Oman if they didn't do exactly what we said and allow the US full control.
At first, the media thought that this was just Trump misspeaking again, as many presidents have done. Surely, Trump meant to say "Iran", not "Oman". The State Department responded to the media's request for clarification. They made clear that Trump indeed meant to threaten Oman with destruction.
