Middle East crisis live: Trump says he wants to ‘take the oil’ in Iran and could seize Kharg Island ‘easily’ | US-Israel war on Iran
Threats of military action and seizure of resources raise serious concerns.
Donald Trump claims the US is in "serious discussions" with a "new and more reasonable" Iranian regime to end its war on Iran alongside Israel. Trump also threatened to destroy Iranian oil infrastructure, including Kharg Island, if a deal isn't reached soon. The conflict escalated as Israel expanded its invasion of southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah and expanding the security buffer zone. The US-Israeli war on Iran has led to rising oil prices, disruptions in shipping routes, and concerns about potential ground operations in Iran.
