They refused in Venezuela, and they're likely to refuse again because Hegseth is having a lot if fun bombing the hell out of everything in Iran, including schools and residential apartment buildings, water systems, and oil infrastructure.

If possible, he will use the military to take Iranian tankers and sell the oil for his own profit.
