Snippet:
Since the bipartite US-Israeli attack on Iran began two months ago, US President Donald Trump has made declarations about stealing Iranian oil: "If it were up to me, I'd take the oil, I'd keep the oil, it would bring plenty of money." Failing that, he has threatened to destroy Iran's oil infrastructure.
