Will the War with Iran End Quickly Before Midterm Elections?

US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his assertion that the war with Iran will end "very quickly," anticipating a sharp decline in oil prices following the conclusion of the confrontation, without specifying a timeline for halting military operations or revealing details of a potential settlement.

Speaking at a rally in North Carolina, Trump stated that the Iranians wish to continue the war beyond the congressional midterm elections scheduled for November 3, but he emphasized that the war will end "one way or another."

Trump defended the cost of the war, considering it a limited price to pay for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, as he put it.

The US president predicted that the end of the confrontation would lead to a significant retreat in oil prices, at a time when energy prices and living costs are gaining importance in American electoral discourse.
