17/08/2026 Trump threatens to bomb Oman

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. Also: the US envoy, Jared Kushner, has held talks with Israel's prime minister over the stalled Gaza peace plan. And the chancellor of Cambridge University has criticised a "racist feeding frenzy" around Jason Arday.
