Regarding Trump's threat, which was reportedly over the potential of Oman to charge tolls in the strait, Bessent said he spoke with Oman and that the Gulf nation didn't plan on doing so. Bessent also threatened sanctions if Oman were to begin charging tolls.

So long as Iran is genuinely committed to dropping its nuclear program and the neighboring Gulf states are prepared to help enforce this deal, the U.S. is completely prepared to offer long-awaited sanctions relief to the people of Iran. Peace can only come if the Iranian regime is prepared to play by the same rules as everyone else.
