DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Web Desk) — Donald Trump on Tuesday voiced frustration with allied nations for not doing enough to support the U.S. war effort, bluntly telling them to “go get your own oil” as tensions with Iran escalated. The ongoing conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have driven average U.S. gas prices above $4 per gallon.

His remarks followed U.S. strikes on the central Iranian city of Isfahan, which triggered a massive explosion, while Tehran retaliated by targeting a fully loaded Kuwaiti oil tanker in the Persian Gulf.
The latest attacks highlight the growing intensity of the war, now more than a month since the U.S. and Israel launched their offensive. The conflict has resulted in over 3,000 deaths and severely disrupted global oil and gas supplies, shaking international markets and increasing the cost of essential goods.
Earlier, Trump shared footage of the Isfahan strike on social media, even as he alternated between expressing optimism about diplomatic progress with Iran and warning of further escalation.
