President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, making it clear that his latest goal is to steal all of the oil from Iran.
Writing Monday morning, Trump said, "Trump: The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately 'Open for Business,' we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet 'touched.' This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year 'Reign of Terror.' Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Trump backed himself into a corner last week when in response to his attacks, Iran shut down the Strait, destablizing the global economy and oil markets along with it.
Critics also argue that the new Iranian dictator, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the former leader Ali Khamenei, is just as bad, if not worse, than his father, News Nation reported last week.
Responding to it on CNN, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) argued that Trump will likely reverse this post within a few hours.
Trump sent oil markets soaring overnight after he threatened to seize oil from Kharg Island.
