Trump weighs oil seizure as US leans on diplomacy in Iran standoff

President Trump signaled a dual-track approach toward Iran, hinting the United States could seize Iran’s oil assets (notably Kharg Island) while pursuing indirect diplomacy; reports also discuss a possible direct military operation to seize Iran’s enriched uranium. Tehran faced weekend electricity outages, and while more Pakistan-flagged tankers transited the Strait of Hormuz, tensions remain high and a negotiated resolution remains possible but uncertain.
