Trump Suggests US Could Stay in Iran to Secure Oil, Citing Venezuela Deal
President Donald Trump suggested the United States might remain in Iran to secure its oil resources, comparing this approach to a recent U.S. effort to control part of Venezuela's oil reserves. Speaking in Ireland, he expressed hope that the Iran conflict would end this year, possibly after the U.S. midterm elections, and predicted gasoline prices would fall significantly afterward. Trump also claimed Iran was seeking peace talks, a point Tehran has denied, and emphasized he would only pursue beneficial deals.
