“At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their oil and gas markets,” warned Trump, likening the plan to what the U.S. has done in Venezuela.
Trump’s threat comes after two days of tit-for-tat strikes between Washington and Tehran in the Middle East region, jeopardizing the fragile cease-fire amid drawn-out peace negotiations.
Iran retaliated with strikes targeting U.S. bases across Jordan and several Gulf nations, renewing concerns of instability in the region.
Iran did not immediately respond to Trump's latest threat against its oil infrastructure.
Washington, meanwhile, has continued to deliver mixed messaging as to the status of the U.S.-Iran peace deal negotiations, which have stretched on for months.
Iran has yet to make major concessions related to its nuclear capabilities and desire to manage naval navigation in the Strait of Hormuz—the key stumbling blocks of a Washington-Tehran agreement.
Tehran’s push for the release of billions of dollars of frozen Iranian funds is reportedly a focal point of the discussions.
Earlier this month, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress that Iran had not been offered sanctions relief from the Trump Administration just in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
