Trump Says His Favourite Option In Iran War Is To Take The Country’s Oil

United States President Donald Trump has said his preferred option in the ongoing war with Iran would be for the US to take control of the country’s oil. He made the remark in a new interview with the Financial Times, offering one of his clearest signals yet about how he views Iran’s energy resources. To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran, Trump said, according to the report. He added that some people in the US questioned the idea, but dismissed them as stupid for doing so. Trump also floated the possibility of seizing Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub in the Gulf. The coral island handles over 90 percent of Iran’s crude exports and is a critical node in the country’s energy infrastructure. Perhaps we take Kharg Island, perhaps we do […]

Remi Surutu says Tinubu not to blame for fuel price hikes

Veteran actress Remi Surutu has defended President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the recent surge in fuel prices, saying the hikes are driven by global forces and not by the president or his government . Surutu spoke at the launch of EKO57, a support group created to mobilise backing for Tinubu’s second term bid, where she argued that decisions by world leaders largely determine petrol prices worldwide .

US seizes sanctioned oil tanker off Venezuela, sparking piracy row

The United States has seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela in a move that sharply escalates tensions with President Nicolás Maduro’s government and jolts global oil markets.
