U.S. President Donald Trump believes that the armed conflict with Iran will end immediately after the midterm elections in Congress, which will take place in November. He made this prediction on Wednesday before departing for the Republican Party convention in Dallas. According to the White House chief, Iran "will not be able to hold out for long," and therefore, he believes that hostilities will conclude soon after the voting. Trump also stated that Tehran is allegedly trying to influence the course of the American electoral campaign, but he did not provide any additional details or evidence. Another topic was energy prices. The U.S. President acknowledged that oil, which has risen in price amid the escalation of the conflict, is unlikely to become cheaper before the elections. At the same time, he expressed confidence that after the war ends, the cost of raw materials will sharply decline. The rise in oil prices is already affecting not only the fuel market but also the cost of transportation and other goods. Therefore, statements about a possible end to the conflict are being closely monitored not only by politicians but also by participants in global markets. The latest escalation of the war between the U.S. and Iran has once again pushed oil prices upward. Against this backdrop, the topic of the conflict has become one of the key issues ahead of the November elections in the U.S. So far, Trump's words remain his personal prediction. There have been no official signs from either side of the conflict indicating a soon cessation of hostilities.
