Donald Trump said the United States could seize Iran’s oil and potentially take control of Kharg Island, a key export hub handling most of Tehran’s crude shipments. He suggested a prolonged presence may be required, even as experts warned such a move could endanger US troops and extend the conflict. Trump claimed indirect talks with Iran were progressing and set an April 6 deadline for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He also alleged increased tanker passage as a “gift” authorised by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Tehran has not confirmed these claims, while tensions and risks to global energy supply continue to rise.
