00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States could take the oil in Iran and once again threatens to
00:06seize control of the country's main oil terminal, Kirk Island.
00:10His remarks come as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a
00:17ground invasion if Trump choose to escalate.
00:20In an interview with the Financial Times, Trump said Washington had many options when it comes to Kirk Island.
00:27In typical fashion, Trump added that the U.S. might take the island or might not and that any operation
00:35could require American forces to remain there for some time.
00:39Even amid rising tensions, Trump suggested that a peace deal with Tehran could be reached fairly quickly, noting that indirect
00:48talks between the U.S. and Iran mediated by Pakistani emissaries were progressing.
00:53However, Tehran has repeatedly said there are no negotiations with Washington.
