Trump Predicts Iran War Ends Soon as Energy Markets Monitor Middle East Tensions

Donald Trump stated in a radio interview that the war with Iran is expected to conclude soon, though any resolution requires guarantees that Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons. His comments come amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty affecting global energy markets. Earlier, Senator Chris Murphy warned of dangerous post-election military plans potentially targeting Iranian oil refineries and infrastructure. Supply risks were further heightened after the UKMTO reported an oil tanker was struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, while crude oil fell 79 cents to $101.98 per barrel.
