HIGHThreat Assessment

The article reports that President Trump said the U.S. could send forces to seize Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal and that he would like to "take the oil in Iran." This public statement of a potential seizure of critical energy infrastructure represents a major escalation in rhetoric and increases the risk of direct U.S.-Iran confrontation and wider regional responses.

Summary

The president said the U.S. could "take the oil in Iran" and that he was considering sending U.S. forces to seize Kharg Island's oil terminal.
