Anderson Cooper on Trump Threatening to ‘Blow Up’ Oman over Strait of Hormuz: ‘Again, Oman Is an Ally’

‘He suggested a deal is close’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "Again, Oman is an ally, gives access to air bases and a port to American forces. And if you think the president‘s statement about blowing up Oman was a slip of the tongue, the State Department posted that clip with the president making that threat on social media not long after he said it. As for Iran, it says 23 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours. That‘s under what it calls its security protection, according to Iranian state-sponsored media, with 'hostile vessels still not allowed.'"
