US - Sep 14, 2026 - Trump eyes Iran oil, hints at Venezuela-style US control after war - In a bold statement, President Trump hinted that the U.S. could take control of Iran's oil resources following a potential conflict. He likened this situation to the American involvement in Venezuela's oil industry.

This strategy connects the U.S. presence to Iran's oil wealth and security aspirations.
