Trump: US Could Take Iran's Oil, Sees 'Deal' with 'New' Leaders

Donald Trump stated he believes a deal can be reached with Iran's 'new' leaders, arguing that the war launched by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic led to a 'change of regime' in Tehran. Despite ongoing Iranian attacks against Israel and other Gulf states, Trump assessed that the new Iranian leaders are 'more reasonable.' He also claimed Iran would allow the passage of 20 oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump further stated that the US military could easily take control of Kharg Island, home to significant Iranian oil infrastructure, while France prepares to host a meeting of G7 finance and energy ministers to discuss the economic impact of the war.
