The president compared his plans for Iran to how the U.S. assumed control of Venezuela's oil sector after capturing then-president Nicolás Maduro in January.
The US will take "total control" of Iranian oil production in the "not too distant future," President Trump claimed. Recent US and Iranian strikes have rendered a ceasefire "meaningless," Tehran has said. The American leader's latest threats came as efforts to negotiate an end to the war appeared stuck.
Deutsche Welle English reported the story as "Iran war ceasefire close to collapse as Trump promises more strikes and eventual US control of Iranian oil and gas — follow live." Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the story as "As ceasefire teeters, Trump threatens to seize Iranian island vital to oil exports."
