In an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said he wanted to "seize Iran's oil resources" and might even occupy Kharg Island, a key export hub. Meanwhile, the US has already deployed thousands of troops to the Middle East. Trump also compared this potential action to the situation in Venezuela. Trump said, "Let me be honest with you, what I most want to do is get oil from Iran, but some idiots in the US are saying, 'Why would you do that?' But they're a bunch of idiots." Trump stated, "Maybe we'll occupy Kharg Island, maybe we won't. We have many options." "That also means we'll have to stay on Kharg Island for a while." (Jin Shi)
