President Trump threatened military action against Oman after it co-developed an Iran-backed toll framework for Strait of Hormuz transit, while USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) carrier strike group is confirmed operating in the 5th Fleet AOR. The Strait of Hormuz remains the world's most critical oil chokepoint, and any US-Oman military confrontation or further disruption to transit arrangements would trigger immediate War Risk, Energy, and Marine market responses. However, no confirmed closure, vessel seizure, or physical disruption has yet occurred.
