The U.S. President is resolute regarding the Iranian regime.
Trump promised to reinstate sanctions against Russia and doubted that Iran's new leader is alive, Deutsche Welle reports.
Sanctions against oil from Russia "will be restored as soon as the crisis is over," Trump stated, adding: "I want the world to have oil. I want there to be oil."
The U.S. lifted sanctions on the sale of Russian oil and petroleum products already loaded onto ships until April 11. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Donald Trump made this decision to "ensure stability in global energy markets and maintain low prices" during the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.
According to Fox News, as of March 12, there were about 124 million barrels of Russian-origin oil on tankers in 30 different locations around the world. Considering the daily fuel losses in the blocked Strait of Hormuz by Iran, this would be enough for 5-6 days of supplies, the channel claimed.
Donald Trump also expressed doubt that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive: "I don't know if he is even alive. So far, no one has been able to show him. I heard he is dead, and if he is alive, he should do something very smart for his country, namely - surrender.
