"With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. It would be a gusher for the world. However, it is not clear how the US would open Hormuz, which Iran effectively blocked early in the conflict, sending energy prices soaring."
"Trump's assertion that the US would take Iran's oil marks an escalation in his rhetoric. Under the international law doctrine of Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources, oil and minerals belong to the countries where they are located."
"Despite the assassinations of some of its top officials and daily bombardment by the US and Israel, the Iranian governing system has remained intact and continues to control the country's natural resources."
The US President asserts that the United States can easily reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iran. He suggests that with more time, the US could take control of Iran's oil industry. Despite previous promises to escort oil ships through the strait, the US military is not prepared for such operations due to potential threats from Iranian drones and missiles. Trump's rhetoric marks an escalation, contradicting international law regarding sovereignty over natural resources, as Iran maintains control over its oil despite US military actions.
