Former President Trump has made several statements regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran, predicting that the war will come to an end immediately after the upcoming midterm elections. He also indicated that the U.S. might consider maintaining a presence in Iran to control its oil resources, drawing a parallel to the situation in Venezuela. As gas prices rise, Trump has suggested that these prices could drop significantly once the Iran conflict is resolved. Despite internal warnings that the war may last longer than anticipated, Trump remains optimistic about a swift resolution, emphasizing that he does not regret initiating the conflict and attributing global diesel shortages to the situation. Lawmakers and advisers are watching closely as the geopolitical situation evolves.
