Deep Tide TechFlow message. On March 30, during an interview with the British Financial Times on Sunday, U.S. President Trump said he hoped to “seize Iran’s oil resources,” and that he might even occupy Khark Island, an important export hub. Meanwhile, the United States has already sent thousands of troops to the Middle East. Trump also compared this potential action to the situation in Venezuela. Trump said: “Honestly, to tell you the truth, the thing I want to do most is to get oil from Iran, but some idiots back home in the U.S. say: ‘Why would you do that?’ But they’re just a bunch of idiots.” Trump said: “Maybe we’ll occupy Khark Island, maybe we won’t. We have a lot of options.” “This also means we’d have to stay on Khark Island for a while.” (Jin Ten)
