Donald Trump Says He Wants to Seize Iran’s Oil and Calls Iranian Nuclear Arms a War Crime

On April 7, Donald Trump said regime change had made Iran more moderate and rejected concerns about attacks on civilian infrastructure.

Fact Check
The claim is substantially supported by the fetched BlockBeats flash '特朗普：希望夺取伊朗的石油', which directly attributes all key elements to Trump: wanting to seize Iran’s oil, saying regime change made Iran more moderate, dismissing concern over attacks on civilian infrastructure, and calling allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons a war crime. CBS's live report 'Trump warns of "critical period" in Iran war, threatening severe strikes if there's no deal by Tuesday night' independently corroborates important parts of the statement, especially the April 7 timing, the civilian infrastructure point, and the broader Iran-war context. The cited Truth Social URL does not support the claim and appears to be a different Trump post, so it weakens confidence in that specific link but does not outweigh the corroborating evidence from the other fetched sources.
