【Trump: "What I Want Most Is Iran's Oil"]
Speaking today in an interview with the UK's Financial Times, Trump said he hopes to control Iran's oil: "To be honest, what I want most is seizing Iran's oil, but there are some foolish people in the U.S. who say, 'Why would you do that?'"
Commentary: Trump's candid declaration of wanting "most desperately to seize Iran's oil" lays bare the imperialist ambitions of a hegemonic power in its pursuit of resources. Such statements, which blatantly disregard national sovereignty and openly covet another country's resources, not only violate international law and basic principles of global order, but also make it clear to the world that so-called "U.S. interests" are fundamentally rooted in power-based plunder and selfishness.
