'US could take the oil in Iran': Trump says he is considering seizing Iran's Kharg Island

US President Trump suggested the US could seize Iran's Kharg Island, its main oil export hub, as part of expanding military options in the Middle East. Trump compared potential action in Iran to US control over Venezuela's oil sector, which he claimed Washington intends to hold indefinitely. Kharg Island handles nearly 90% of Iran's crude exports and is a strategic chokepoint near the Strait of Hormuz, crucial for global oil trade.
