The United States threatened Thursday to target ally Oman if it helped impose a tolling system in the key Strait of Hormuz, warning of sanctions against all parties involved in such actions. The United States and Iran also accused each other of violating an ongoing truce following an exchange of fire, three months after the Middle East war began with a wave of US-Israeli strikes on the Islamic republic. The latest exchange was the most serious since Washington and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April. The two countries have been locked in weeks-long indirect talks through mediators to bring the conflict to an end, so far to no avail. For more, FRANCE 24’s François Picard is joined by Dr. H. A.
