Trump confirms IRGC backchannel, threatens to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman if it 'gets in the way'
Later on Monday, Trump told reporters that Iran won't make the deal he thinks is needed, and that Washington will not extend the MoU.
US President Donald Trump confirmed to FOX News on Monday the existence of a backchannel with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials, following the expiration of a 60-day Memorandum of Understanding. Axios previously reported that Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani was the secret intermediary. However, IRGC Spokesperson Brig.-Gen Hossein Mohebbi denied these claims, stating, “There is no dialogue taking place between IRGC officials and the Americans,” and called Trump's assertion “merely fantasy.” Trump also issued a warning to Oman, threatening to “bomb the s*** out of them” if they interfered with US control in the Strait of Hormuz, and reiterated that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons. Additionally, Trump mentioned a “different channel with Hamas” regarding the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, claiming Hamas agreed to “ultimately giving up their guns.”
