President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman - a US ally - if it "gets in the way" of his administration's own talks with Iran, Fox News reports.

The US and Oman have separately been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.

The threat came after the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides expired. The future of talks between the US and Iran is now unclear.

Donald Trump has said he will bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of US talks with Iran.

Oman, which says it is a neutral country between Iran and the US, has suffered a number of strikes from Iran since the conflict broke out. However, it is now playing a role in negotiations to reopen the strait. On Monday, Iranian officials said they were close to finalising a deal with Oman on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Jeremy Bowen, BBC international editor joins Adam to discuss Trump’s comments and ongoing negotiations between the US, Israel and Hamas on the implementation of the Gaza peace plan.

Plus, Joe Pike and Ben Chu join Adam to break down Reform UK’s pitch to ban foreign nationals from accessing most benefits as part of their proposed welfare reforms. They claim the plans would save £21bn a year by its fifth year, but the government says the policy would plunge the UK “back into years of Brexit re-negotiations”.

President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman - a US ally - if it "gets in the way" of his administration's talks with Iran.

The US and Oman have been negotiating separately with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.

The US president made the threat to Oman while using an expletive during a phone interview.

Earlier in the day, Iranian officials said they were close to finalising a deal with Oman. Meanwhile, the future of talks between the US and Iran is unclear as a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides is expiring.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump was asked by BBC News if he was seeking an extension to the MoU, to which he replied: "No."

Since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February, Tehran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz - through which about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas usually passes.

Oman borders the southern side of the Strait and says it is a neutral country in this conflict. However it has suffered attacks strikes from Iran and is now playing a leading role in negotiating with Tehran to reopen the waterway.

Washington has pursued its own efforts to secure the reopening. Fox reporter Trey Yingst quoted Trump as saying: "If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the shit out of them."

Benjamin Netanyahu has been a major figure in Israeli politics for a long time. You could have just turned 30 years old and never known a time when he wasn’t either prime minister or somewhere near the top of Israeli politics. But could that be about to change?

With less than three months until the Israeli general election, Netanyahu is struggling in some polls. His rival is a man who is little known outside of Israel – former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot. In some international media, Eisenkot is being dubbed the ‘anti-Netanyahu’. But is that accurate?

Asma Khalid and Tristan Redman, from The Global Story, speak to David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, who has spent time with Eisenkot for a major profile piece.

The drive-by shooting that killed rap superstar Tupac Shakur on 7 September 1996 changed the trajectory of hip-hop and elevated the rapper from the face of the genre to a cultural icon.

His killing became one of popular culture's great mysteries, with countless theories but no arrests until 2023, when Duane "Keffe D" Davis was unexpectedly charged with murdering the famous rapper.

Davis, a 63-year-old former gang boss, is due to stand trial in Las Vegas.

Fame Under Fire host, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, speaks to Shaun Kent, resident trial attorney, about the case.
