Trump Says War With Iran Will End After U.S. Midterm Elections

14 September 2026

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, reiterated this Saturday (the 12th) that he believes the war with Iran will end after the midterm elections in the United States, in November, and that oil prices will fall as soon as that happens.

“I think it will be very soon. I think it will probably be right after the midterm elections. They are trying to stay firm as much as they can to complicate the elections. But I think people have already realized that,” Trump told reporters in Dublin.

“When that happens, oil prices will plummet.”
