Trump Predicts Iran Conflict Could End in Two Weeks, Proposes Seizing Oil

President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that a U.S. withdrawal from Iran could quickly drive down global oil prices. He argued that leaving Iran “very soon” would make prices “tumble down.” Linking his stance to security concerns, Trump defended past strikes and warned that without decisive action, Iran’s nuclear program could have posed an imminent threat. He claimed a B-2 bomber mission prevented Tehran from developing a weapon “before today.” In remarks to a major financial publication, the president also said his “favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran,” specifically naming the Kharg Island export terminal. He dismissed critics as “stupid people” for questioning that plan. These comments come amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and debates over U.S. military involvement and its impact on energy markets.
