The U.S. president said at an election rally in Iowa that the war against Iran would end very soon and that no one was left in Tehran to negotiate with. He also predicted a further drop in oil prices after the war ends.
Donald Trump, the U.S. president, said during a speech at an election rally in the state of "Iowa": The war against Iran will end very soon, in one way or another. He also indicated that he did not attach great importance to how the war ends, but stressed that it would certainly end very soon.
The U.S. president said: "In the wake of the blows that have struck Iran's leadership levels, no one is left in Tehran to negotiate with."
Regarding the rise in fuel prices and its impact on the midterm congressional elections, Donald Trump said: "The amount of oil that passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the past week has been greater than at any previous level, even during the period before the war began."
The U.S. president predicted that oil prices would fall further immediately after the end of the war with Iran, at a time when concerns remain over the security of global energy supplies and shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important maritime routes for transporting oil.
Donald Trump's remarks come amid growing international concern over the possibility of a new phase of confrontation beginning and U.S. and Israeli preparations for an intensive attack on Iran.
