Trump mulls seizing Iran’s oil via Kharg Island as crisis widens

Trump says the U.S. could seize Iran’s oil exports via Kharg Island as the Middle East crisis deepens, while oil prices surge and regional markets slide. Israel launches strikes on Tehran’s regime infrastructure and expands its Lebanon operations, and UN peacekeepers are killed in Lebanon. Pakistan hosts talks among regional actors to de-escalate, and the IAEA reports damage at Iran’s Khondab heavy‑water facility. The conflict threatens energy supplies and inflation globally.
