On the invitations of Oman’s Sultan, Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, accompanied with his wife and a delegation of high officials of Israel visited Oman.

Given the role of middleman Oman has long played for the unreformable, expansionist and warmongering Islamist fascist rulers of Iran, this visit could spell bad news for them.

True, in addition to brokering number of hostage for ransom deals for the Islamist fascists, the Sultan has been the key facilitator in the Islamist appeaser-in-chief Obama’s faulty legacy nuke deal with Islamist fascists’ Führer.

However, before cozying up to the Islamist fascist in Iran, the same sultan was a de facto puppet of the late Shah of Iran, owing his rule to the Iranian military getting rid of Cuba’s Castro backed insurgents on the verge of dethroning him.

In other words; the Sultan owes his survival to his keen sense of smell, getting the whiff of whom and what trend is getting the upper hand.

Above is part of a blog posted on October of last year. New development:

“The United States clinched a strategic port deal with Oman on Sunday which U.S. officials say will allow the U.S. military better access to the Gulf region and reduce the need to send ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime choke point off Iran.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the deal was significant by improving access to ports that connect to a network of roads to the broader region, giving the U.S. military great resiliency in a crisis."

In other words; yet another clear sign that Oman has jettisoned Islamist fascist Iran. The Sultan owes his survival to his keen sense of smell, getting the whiff of whom and what trend is getting the upper hand.

Airtight sanctions - which includes oil - a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.
