U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed a strong inclination to acquire Iranian oil, suggesting Washington could potentially occupy Kharg Island, a vital export center. He indicated that American forces are expanding their presence throughout the Middle East.
Trump stated his “preferred thing” is to seize the oil within Iran, drawing comparisons to the U.S. strategy regarding Venezuela. The administration intends to maintain control over the Venezuelan oil sector “for an indefinite period.”
These remarks coincide with a significant surge in oil prices, exceeding 50 percent in a single month.
Brent crude has surpassed $116 per barrel, fueled by the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Trump acknowledged the possibility of taking Kharg Island, stating, “Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe not.
We have many options.” The president’s comments reflect a deliberate escalation of the situation, prioritizing access to Iranian oil resources.
