Hindustan Times Mass Death Of US Troops? Trump’s Next Move Risks Major Calamity As He Ignores Iran Threat| Kharg,Oil

Donald Trump is now openly talking about “taking Iran’s oil” as the war deepens, putting Kharg Island, Tehran’s main export lifeline, in the direct crosshairs. In a new interview, he compared his vision to Venezuela, suggesting the U.S. could seize and control Iran’s energy assets indefinitely after regime change. He even floated the idea that Kharg Island could be taken “very easily,” dismissing Iranian defences and domestic critics as “stupid people.” At the same time, the U.S. has surged thousands of additional ground troops and Marines into the Middle East, signalling that Washington is preparing for a potential wider confrontation. For Iran, Kharg is non‑negotiable. The IRGC has warned that any attempt to land U.S. forces there would turn the island into a death trap, promising fierce resistance and a flood of casualties. Global markets are already reacting: crude prices have spiked more than 50% in a month, with Brent briefly pushing above 116 dollars as traders brace for possible supply shocks. As Trump toys with oil grabs and escalation, the risk of a regional spiral and a full‑blown global energy crisis has never been higher.
