Trump Suggests US Could Stay in Iran, Retain Control of Oil Reserves

US President Donald Trump has suggested that the country could remain engaged in Iran and retain control of its oil reserves, drawing parallels with the US deal with Venezuela. In a speech at the Irish Open golf championship, Trump stated that the US would 'ultimately get out' of Iran unless they decide to stay and keep the oil like Venezuela.

Trump emphasized that he expects the conflict in Iran to end this year, possibly just after the US midterm elections in November. He also claimed that the price of gasoline would 'drop like a rock' once the Iran war ends.

The president drew attention to the significant revenue generated by the US from Venezuela's oil reserves, stating that it has 'paid for the war many times.' However, Tehran has dismissed Trump's assertion that Iran is seeking peace talks.
