Why is the US so angry at Oman?

Description

How has the "Switzerland of the Middle East" managed to anger the Trump administration? US President Trump threatened last week to "blow up" Oman if it did not "behave". Reports have since alleged that the US is quietly pressuring Oman to cut ties with Iran and side more firmly with the US. So, why is Oman remaining strictly neutral - even though it has not been spared by Iran's retaliation? And will it agree to US demands to take a side in the conflict? Support stories that matter.
