BlockBeats News, March 30th: In an interview with the Financial Times of London on Sunday, U.S. President Trump said he hopes to "take Iran's oil resources," and may even seize the strategic chokepoint of Kharg Island. Trump emphasized that indirect talks with Iran through a Pakistani "emissary" are progressing well. Trump stated that an agreement could be reached quickly.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has deployed thousands of soldiers to the Middle East. Trump also compared this possible action to the situation in Venezuela.
Trump said, "To be honest with you, the thing I most want to do is get Iran's oil, but some fools in the U.S. say, 'Why would you do that?' But they are just a bunch of fools." Trump said, "Maybe we will occupy Kharg Island, maybe we won't. We have many options." "This also means we have to stay on Kharg Island for a while."
