President Donald Trump said he wanted to “take the oil” in Iran, possibly seizing the export hub of Kharg Island, the Financial Times reported. Trump’s interview with the FT comes as thousands of US troops massed in the Persian Gulf region, including an amphibious assault team that arrived on Saturday. Portions of the 82nd Airborne is also on its way. Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday that “his preference would be to take the oil.” He compared the effort to the operation in Venezuela in January, when the US captured the South American country’s leader, Nicolas Maduro , and plans to control its oil industry. Brent crude traded higher than $115 a barrel, near its highest level since the war began. The US and Israel have been hammering Iran with strikes for four weeks, and Iran has retaliated in Israel, on US military targets and on industrial sites in the US’s Gulf allies like the UAE and Bahrain.

Unlike in Venezuela, taking Iran’s oil would involve invading and holding its main export hub, Kharg Island, which also houses an Iranian naval base. “Our men are waiting for American soldiers to enter on the ground,” Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. Trump told FT that taking Kharg Island “would also mean we had to be there for a while.” Asked about the state of Iranian defenses on Kharg Island he said: “I don’t think they have any defense. We could take it very easily.”

Australian fuel prices soared to a record last week as the impact of the Iran war spread, prompting policymakers to consider cuts to some road taxes and other measures to help households and firms. The average price of a liter of diesel jumped above A$2.82 ($1.93) last week, according to data from the Australian Institute of Petroleum , while petrol was almost A$2.40, both the highest in at least 20 years. The average price in rural regions like the Northern Territory was even higher, a blow to farmers and long-distance transport firms. Fuel supply shortages are already surfacing, with several hundred gas stations reporting shortfalls in recent days. The crunch is also affecting the agriculture and mining sectors, though Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said over the weekend that supply is secure in the near-term.

Leaders of the national and state-level governments are meeting to coordinate policies to maintain supplies, and to take steps to also bring down prices if possible. “This war in the Middle East is having extreme consequences for the global economy now and Australians are paying a hefty price for that,” Chalmers told reporters in Canberra. Some states have already announced they will make public transport free to help those who can’t afford to buy fuel, while the national government said last week it will underwrite the cost of imports.

World No 2 seals Miami Open final 6-4, 6-4 Sinner won in Indian Wells earlier in March Jiri Lehecka entered his first Masters 1000 final at the Miami Open in the best serving form of his life. He had won every service game in the tournament, a feat achieved by just eight men at this level before him. The ease with which he brushed aside all nine break points against him reflected his confidence. It took two return games for Jannik Sinner to viciously drag the Czech back down to earth. Ten minutes in, Sinner had already broken Lehecka’s unbreakable serve. As has usually been the case over the past few years, Sinner burst into the lead and refused to let it go. Continue reading...
