[Iran's Foreign Ministry Condemns US Threats to Oman, Accusing It of "Extorting an Independent Nation"] 1. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagaei responded strongly to recent threats made by the Trump administration against Oman. US Treasury Secretary Bessant previously stated that Washington would impose "aggressive" sanctions on Oman if it assists Iran in establishing a toll system in the Strait of Hormuz, further increasing pressure on this Gulf ally. 2. Bagaei stated that these threats are "an attempt to extort an independent nation as a member of the United Nations, and further evidence of the moral bankruptcy of the US governance and political system." 3. He called the sanctions threats "illegal" and called on "the international community to respond responsibly and prevent the increasing normalization of violations of international law."
