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.On Sunday, Axios reported that Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani had been tapped as the secret backchannel, citing three sources with direct knowledge of the talks.Notably, Barzani lived in Iran during the Iraq-Iran War in the 1980s, studied at the University of Tehran, speaks fluent Farsi, and has personal relationships with several members of the IRGC.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 also 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.Trump: Hamas agreed to give up its weaponsHe also said that the US has a "different channel with Hamas" and has been discussing demilitarizing the Gaza Strip.Further, Trump said that Israel should not be striking in Gaza since Hamas has agreed to "ultimately giving up their guns."Trump's comments come as Jared Kushner, Board of Peace head Nikolay Mladenov, and Tony Blair met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials on Monday to apply pressure on Israel to move forward with the next stage of the US plan for Gaza.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."Amichai Stein, Idan Kweller, and Jerusalem Post Staff contributed to this report.
