Trump says he could 'take the oil in Iran'

Podcast cover

Global News Podcast

Tensions surrounding the US-Israeli war on Iran are escalating, with President Trump suggesting seizing Iranian oil and Iranian parliament members accusing the U.S. of planning a ground invasion. The rising oil prices are already impacting economies globally, prompting emergency measures in Asia. Jeremy Bowen, the international editor, suggests that Trump's initial expectations of a swift resolution, similar to Venezuela, have not materialized due to Iran's institutional strength. Despite potential diplomatic solutions, recent remarks from the White House indicate a hard-line stance. Meanwhile, in Alabama, Trump's MAGA supporters show unwavering support despite economic concerns, though some express reservations about deploying ground troops. Additionally, 40 species have been granted international protected status to combat habitat loss and illegal trade.
