Toggle PlayTrump says Iran’s ‘had regime change’ as he describes 'boatloads of oil'
US-Israeli overnight strikes hit Tehran and other cities, with power infrastructure targeted in the Iranian capital, as the conflict causes upheaval in global stock and oil markets.
The attacks caused a blackout, which has since been restored, according to the Iranian authorities.
United States President Donald Trump said in an interview that he wanted to “take the oil in Iran” as Tehran accused Washington of plotting a ground attack despite publicly pushing for a negotiated deal. On Sunday, he said, “We’ll make a deal with them [Iran], I’m pretty sure.”
Trump’s comments came after Pakistan, which hosted talks on Sunday aimed at de-escalating the war, said it was preparing to host “meaningful talks” in the coming days.
