President Donald Trump says the United States will take “total control” of Iranian oil production “in the not too distant future,” linking the claim to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The remarks come as both sides exchange military actions. Deutsche Welle reports that recent US and Iranian strikes have led Tehran to say any proposed ceasefire is “meaningless,” indicating mounting doubts about the durability of a pause in hostilities. The two reports describe the ceasefire as being close to collapse, with Trump also promising further US strikes. The coverage presents the dispute between Washington and Tehran in parallel: the United States signals an expanded role and eventual control over Iranian oil and gas, while Iran rejects the practical value of a ceasefire in light of continued attacks. Overall, the articles describe intensified fighting, contested ceasefire prospects, and a US policy position centered on Iranian energy infrastructure.
