KEY POINTS
- •The US State Department ordered non-emergency US government workers and their families to leave Oman on Friday due to safety risks.
- •US President stated he was not interested in making a deal with Iran at this time.
- •He also threatened to bomb Iran's Kharg Island again 'just for fun,' signaling continued military posturing.
On a riveting Friday update, the US State Department decided Oman was suddenly a no-fun zone, ordering non-emergency government folks and their families to leave due to 'safety risks.' Meanwhile, the US president, in what might be history’s most casual war talk, declared he didn't want a deal with Iran yet but might bomb Kharg Island 'just for fun.' Kharg Island, for those who forgot their geography, is Iran’s vital oil terminal, not a carnival ride. As diplomatic talks take a coffee break, apparently, island bombings have become a hobby with unspecified deadlines and ominous chill vibes.
