Last update: 9 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Crisis: With the US-Iran 60-day MoU expiring, Donald Trump said Washington won’t extend it and warned Iran won’t get the deal it wants—while again threatening Oman if it “gets in the way” of US efforts, including a bomb threat tied to talks on shipping routes through Hormuz. Diplomacy vs escalation: Iran says the deadline is “lost relevance” and claims US violations; Reuters reports Tehran is shifting to a “fully offensive” posture if diplomacy fails, as tanker traffic and peace prospects stall. Market ripple for Oman: Oil jumped above $90 as supply fears returned, and Wall Street slid with higher Treasury yields. Oman in focus regionally: Oman’s Sultan met UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi as Gulf tensions rise. Local economy: Muscat Stock Exchange’s MSX 30 edged up 0.08% on Monday. Energy procurement: Separate from the crisis, Bangladesh approved LNG cargo purchases—highlighting how Hormuz uncertainty keeps gas and oil supply planning in the spotlight.
