Odaily Planet Daily reports: During an interview with the UK’s Financial Times on Sunday, U.S. President Trump said he hopes to “seize Iran’s oil resources,” and may even occupy the Strait of Hormuz’s key export hub, Hormuz Island. Meanwhile, the United States has already sent several thousand troops to the Middle East. Trump also compared this potential action to the situation in Venezuela. Trump said, “To be honest with you, the thing I most want to do is to get oil from Iran, but some idiots in the U.S. say, ‘Why would you do that?’ But they’re just a bunch of idiots.” Trump said, “Maybe we will occupy Hormuz Island, maybe we won’t. We have a lot of options.” “And that also means we’d have to stay on Hormuz Island for a while.” (Jin10)
