Trump Predicts End of War with Iran After Midterms, Promises Cheaper Gas

10 September 2026

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said this Wednesday, the 9th, that war with Iran will end after the November midterm elections and that gas prices would fall shortly thereafter.

“It may take a little longer,” he told reporters about fuel prices en route to the Republican Convention in Dallas. “Gas prices will be below $2 a gallon,” he added.

The Republican reiterated that he is not seeking a deal with Tehran but that there could be negotiations. “I am doing much more than a nuclear deal; there are many issues on the table,” he stressed, without giving further details. Trump also said he would talk with Israel about sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom on settlements in the West Bank.

Asked about a trilateral meeting between him, Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, the president responded: “It could happen.” “I had a great conversation with Putin, he wants to reach a peace agreement,” he said.
