Trump says US could take Iran's Kharg oil export hub, even as he says a deal could come quickly03/30/2026DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says he wants to take Iran’s oil and suggested American troops could seize the country’s Kharg Island export hub. That came in comments published Monday. He added that a deal with Tehran to end the war “could be made fairly quickly.” On the ground, the war showed no sign of letting up: Tehran struck a key water and electrical plant in Kuwait, and an oil refinery in Israel came under attack. Israel and the U.S. launched a new wave of strikes on Iran.
