Warren Slams Trump Over Iran War and Oil Industry Profits

According to Jin10, U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump over the Iran war, saying oil companies close to him have profited from the conflict. She said ExxonMobil's second-quarter profit topped $14 billion, more than double a year earlier, while Chevron's second-quarter profit rose fourfold from the same period in 2025 to $12.1 billion. Warren also said that, according to Trump's financial disclosure filings through the second quarter of 2026, he continued buying and selling oil and gas company shares during the U.S.-Iran war, and Democrats said his related holdings expanded from a range of $13 million to $46 million at the start of this year to a range of $17 million to $61 million in mid-August based on Joint Economic Committee data. The White House said Trump was not involved in those trades.
