Trump Claims Venezuela Oil Revenue Paid for Iran War 25 Times Over

🛢️ CARACAS — US funding its Iran war with oil from a country it sanctioned. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Trump's "25 times" claim points to waiver-backed Venezuela crude deals generating windfall at $100+ Brent. Select US firms hold Caracas licenses; at current prices, flows produce significant fiscal offset. This lets Trump build a war-pays-for-itself narrative before any escalation order — and signals he's preparing domestic opinion for a longer conflict.
