Trump threatens military action against Oman as US-Iran agreement expires

The 60-day US-Iran ceasefire agreement has officially expired, with President Trump stating the US is not seeking an extension. Amidst the expiration, Trump's threats of military action against US ally Oman if it obstructs a potential agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz have further escalated regional tensions.

Genuinely significant and moving quickly. Facts are still being established.
