Trump confirms IRGC backchannel, threatens to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way'

US President Donald Trump confirmed to FOX News on Monday that there is a backchannel with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials, as the 60-day period in the MoU expired.

Trump added that Iran should raise "the white flag of surrender," and that he has "no time schedule" and is in "no hurry" to make a deal.

The Iranian's are "good poker players, but they're dying," said Trump.

He warned that “if Oman gets in the way [of US control in the Strait of Hormuz], we’ll bomb the s*** out of them."

Regarding US munitions used against Iran, Trump said that what has been used so far against Iran "is peanuts."

Trump added that while the US has many mid-level weapons, many of the more advanced weapons, including air-defense systems, were "given away" to Ukraine by former US President Joe Biden.

When asked about Israel's upcoming elections in October, Trump told FOX that while he thinks "it's more appropriate" for him to stay out of the elections, he "may endorse somebody."
