U.S. President Donald Trump says he prefers taking control of Iran’s Kharg Island oil infrastructure hub. In remarks in an interview aired on Fox News, Trump says, “my preference has always been - take Kharg Island,” referring to the site as a major oil and energy asset. He also adds uncertainty about whether the United States has public support for a major escalation of the conflict, saying he does not know if Americans have “the stomach for it.” The comments are presented as part of ongoing discussions with unspecified parties. Neither source provides details on any concrete U.S. action or timeline related to Kharg Island, and both focus primarily on Trump’s stated preference and his assessment of domestic appetite for further escalation. The reporting reflects Trump’s characterization of strategy and risk, rather than any official confirmation of operational plans or negotiations connected to the island.
