UNITED STATES President Donald Trump today threatened to launch major strikes on Iran and seize control of its oil and gas industries as continuing attacks between the warring countries pushed the Middle East closer to the resumption of full-scale war.

President Trump threatened in a social media post that the US would hit Iran “very hard tonight” and would “assume total control” of Iran’s oil and gas industries, including the key Kharg Island oil terminal, in the “not too distant future.”
