Trump Suggests US Could Stay in Iran to Control Oil, Citing Venezuela Deal
President Donald Trump suggested the United States might remain in Iran to control its oil resources, drawing a parallel to a recent US effort to secure a stake in Venezuela's oil reserves. Speaking during a trip to Ireland, he reiterated expectations that the Iran conflict would end this year, possibly after the November midterm elections. Trump claimed Iran was seeking peace talks, which Tehran denies, and said gasoline prices would drop once the conflict ends. The proposal to stay engaged in Iran was presented as an alternative to withdrawal.
