Trump Threatens Iran Oil Takeover as US Strikes for Second Straight Day
Trump said the U.S. could seize Iranian oil assets as officials reported more than 200 commercial ships safely transited the waterway.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened new military action against Iran, declaring the U.S. would hit the country "VERY HARD TONIGHT" while suggesting Washington could seize control of key Iranian oil facilities, including Kharg Island.
- Central Command forces carried out two consecutive days of precision strikes against Iranian military targets, including surveillance and air defense sites, following "unwarranted and continued aggression" that threatened international commercial shipping.
- Trump wrote Wednesday that a U.S. military mission launched last month enabled more than 100 million barrels of oil to reach global markets, with more than 200 commercial ships safely transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
- Following high-level talks, Trump announced Thursday that he canceled scheduled strikes against Iran after negotiations were elevated to the Islamic Republic's highest leadership levels and approved by all parties involved.
- Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran's Foreign Ministry warned Thursday that U.S. attacks "effectively rendered the ceasefire... meaningless," while a Qatari delegation departed Tehran after stalled negotiations.
