Trump Links Iran War Exit to Oil Seizure as Gulf Talks Collapse
President Trump suggested the U.S. might retain control of Iranian oil reserves to fund the ongoing war, mirroring a recent agreement with Venezuela. This statement coincided with the postponement of critical diplomatic talks in Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump predicted the seven-month conflict would end by year's end, oil prices surged past $100 per barrel as regional tensions escalated and shipping routes remained blocked.
